2023 Black River Grand Prix
Zipping through the ferns at the 2022 Black River Grand Prix
The Black River Grand Prix is back! Join us on Saturday, June 10, 2023 for the Black River Grand Prix, a celebration of fast racing, big loops, varied terrain, and fun on bikes in the woods. The format is simple: a mass start on one big lap. This ain’t XCO, this is VT mountain biking - flow, tech, jank, doubletrack, and even a dirt road or two - there’s something for everyone.
Race Info
The 2023 Black River Grand Prix field will head off at 9:30am on a ~25k (~16mi) course featuring nearly all the riding the Center has to offer. The race never loops back into the stadium, so once you’re gone, you’re gone (though we will have a spot close by where you can stash feeds). First one back wins. We’re playing it close to the vest when it comes to the course layout, but rest assured almost all of it will be fun (what’s a race without a little suffering, right?).
Check out this year’s Race Guide!
Price & Registration
Registration is now open at BikeReg.com
Sunday’s Grand Prix will be $40 for open racers, $25 for current college students, and $20 for juniors (ages 18 and under). $12 of every open entry fee will go towards prize money for the open category ($3 to the male and female winners, $2 for second place, and $1 for third place). Juniors are only eligible for prizes, not cash.
