The preseason is finally here and registration is open! Practices will begin in mid-November and races kick off in January. Please contact us if you’re interested in joining us this season! We look forward to seeing you there, cheering our student-athletes on!

The Fast and the Fearless

January 31, 2026 – February 1, 2026
Caloosahatchee Regional Park
18251 N River Rd
Alva, FL 33920

Ride Hard. Ride Together.
Caloosahatchee sets the stage for our season opener, The Fast and the Fearless.

The CRP trails feature a mix of fast, open sections and shaded canopy routes, complete with rollers, climbs, and ridge-line twists that deliver both speed and scenery.

This first race is a time trial:

1 lap per rider
Individual awards in every category
Staging begins 10 minutes before wave start times (Middle School A, Middle School B, 6th, etc.)

The course begins in an open field, flows into singletrack with spectator-friendly views, winds through canopy-covered ridges, and finishes back in the field. Beyond launching our season, this event establishes staging for the first mass start race.

Raiders of the Lost Trail

February 21 – 22, 2026
Santos (Vortex Trailhead)
9150 SE 25th Ave
Ocala, FL 34480

For our second event of the season, we’re heading to the legendary Santos Trails!

Student-athletes will start in the grassy field of the Vortex area and head straight into the singletrack. Once on Dog Bone, riders will loop around Twister and take the Puppy Trail back into Twister — a fast, flowy, and (you guessed it) super twisty trail.

Riders will exit the singletrack into the Pit, then power up a steep doubletrack climb to the finish.

While this course isn’t highly technical, it does feature quick turns, rooty spots, and a few steep drops and climbs to keep you alert. It’s the kind of trail that challenges your skills while keeping it fun — and it’s guaranteed to leave riders crossing the finish line with a huge smile!

Shred Wars: Episode 7 – The Flow Awakens

March 14 – 15, 2026
Dyer Park
7301 N Haverhill Rd
West Palm Beach, FL 33412

A hill in South Florida? It’s true — and we’re racing it!

The trails at Dyer Park include both the Hill Trails and the Perimeter Trail. Built on a 55-foot elevation, the Hill Trail is about 2.5 miles long and features multiple climbs and descents around the mound. With banked turns made from shell rock donated by Palm Beach County, this course is fast, gritty, and full of character.

Dyer Hill is entirely singletrack — one to two feet wide — made of crushed rock, with grassy areas covering the rest of the terrain. While a few trees offer some shade, most of the ride is exposed to the sun, and riders should watch for trail erosion after heavy rains.

The Perimeter Trail is a great fit for all rider levels. It’s mostly smooth crushed rock, with several miles of twisty singletrack weaving through wooded sections around the park. It’s more shaded than Dyer Hill, but with the Florida heat, bringing plenty of water is a must!

This course offers a unique South Florida challenge and an unforgettable racing experience!

Trailbusters

March 28 – 29, 2026
Loyce E. Harpe Park
300 W Carter Rd
Mulberry, FL 33860

Our fourth race of the season brings us to central Florida and the awesome trails at Loyce E. Harpe Park — better known as Carter Road.

The singletrack here is built on rugged terrain left behind by old phosphate mines, creating a unique and exciting trail system that offers something for everyone — from new riders to experienced racers.

Student-athletes will tackle a course that starts out on a wide dirt road before heading into a grassy run section (save some energy!). From there, the trail flows into singletrack that winds around scenic lakes, climbs and descends ridges, and finishes with a tight, twisty section that leads straight to the finish line.

This is a true destination trail system — and once your race is done, stick around and enjoy everything Carter Road has to offer!

Jurassic Shred

April 11 – 12, 2026
J.R. Alford Greenway
2500 Pedrick Rd
Tallahassee, FL 32317

Our 5th race takes us to the state capital — Tallahassee — home to some of our league’s biggest supporters. We’ll be spending the weekend at the beautiful J.R. Alford Greenway in Leon County.

With over 17 miles of multi-use trails, this park is a dream spot for cyclists, runners, hikers, horseback riders, and nature lovers. Wide open spaces, scenic views, and wooded trails filled with lakes and wildlife make it the perfect location.

But let’s be real — we’re here for the trails!

This course will push all our student-athletes in the best way possible. It offers a fun mix of terrain and some serious climbing that’ll make your legs burn and your heart race.

Riders will start in an open grass field and begin climbing toward the first stretch of singletrack — a twisty, flowy, fast section that’s guaranteed to leave riders grinning. From there, the course heads into doubletrack climbs that lead to the Longleaf Trail, a packed red clay path filled with rolling ups and downs.

This is true cross-country riding — with 326 feet of elevation gain per lap!

This Season Deserves an Oscar

April 25 – 26, 2026
San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park
13201 Progress Blvd
Alachua, FL 32615

With nearly 40 miles of flowing singletrack winding through multiple ecosystems in the San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park, this venue offers something for everyone. It’s one of Florida’s truest traditional cross-country trails — with a mix of doubletrack roads, grassy fields, and plenty of singletrack climbs, plus just enough roots to keep things interesting!

Student-athletes will take on a fun but challenging course that begins on a wide dirt road, quickly leading into a short stretch of singletrack and then into an open grassy field.

From there, riders head back into the woods on twisty, root-filled singletrack before powering through a final grassy climb to the finish.

This course is all about flow, grit, and finishing strong. Let’s ride!
