Registration Details:
All proceeds from the event go straight back into supporting the Backyard Trails!
- Party Pace Registration is $20. After April 30th the price goes to $27.50.
- Race Registration is $35. There will be some awesome prizes for podium finishers!
There will be NO registration on the day of the event. The event also has a participant cap so make sure you sign up early.
Whether you’re racing, spectating, heckling, or just showing up to soak in the scene – this one’s gonna be good. We’ll also be raffling off some sweet prizes, so bring cash if you want in on the action!
There are two ways to participate:
1. Party Pace – Claim your spot in the woods. Whether you’re heckling, cheering, or just soaking it all in, this is where the energy comes from. No rush, no pressure – just the best excuse to hang out between the trees all day. Party Pacers should expect to ride between 15 and 20 miles for the day.
2. Race – Rip four loops through the best trails in Charlotte. Four chances to lay it down. Cross the line, grab a card, and stack your score. Only the top 13 from each loop gets a card. Highest total wins. No timing chips, no tape – just speed, grit, and the chance to walk away with a trophy and some solid prizes, and the title of King or Queen of BYT. Racers should expect to ride between 22 and 27 miles for the day.
