Course Description
The course is a sweet mix of Cumberland old school and a sampling of the new progression. The course starts in the heart of Cumberland at the #6 Mine Park and quickly makes it way up to Cumberland Classsic’s, Two & a Juice and Buggered Pig. Following Buggered Pig a climb up to and across the Sykes bridge to the flowy, bermy goodness of Teapot, which slithers you down to the banks of Allen Lake. After cruising alongside the Lake for a bit you will traverse across to the classic descent which will take you all the way back to town via Crafty Butcher to Black Hole and then finishing with the cosmic bliss of Space Nugget. You can do one, two or three laps of this wicked course!
Come for the weekend and stay at the Riding Fool Hostel. Course maps can be found at Dodge City Cycles.

Course Description
The course this year is a HammerFest classic combination of mainly old and new single track, a bit of double track and some gravel road grinding. The race will start with a 1.3 km gravel, elevation gaining, road spin to spread the field out. From here the course will follow old school single track trails like Walrus, Brian's Worm, Giddyup and Dead Horses. The flow continues onto Daryl 's trail, NoAl's, Barf Bag and Puddle Lane . These lead onto the recent Outback, old school Burnt Ridge, part of Betty's Bridge to Shake & Bake and then the new Dem Bones and a very short road sprint to the finish. A lot of variation for a fun, 9km with 1000 feet of elevation gain.
1 lap beginners, 2 laps intermediate and 3 laps for the experts!
The race start is very close to the yellow gate that marks the entrance to the HammerFest trails. Vehicle parking will be on Errington Rd close to the yellow gate. Please park off the pavement and close to one another. Also respect the residential driveways in the area. Thanks.
