2023 SUMMER SERIES

Celebrating 10 Years of MTB Racing

The Summer Series is where it all started and to this  day continues to be the staple of the Quick n’ Dirty vibe. You can expect a fun, fast, and challenging series of races that keeps you tuned up, doesn’t break your wallet, and in most cases, gets you home in time for dinner. However, we will have food vendors on site if you want to kick back, relax, and grab a bite to eat at the race.
