October 10–11, 2026 · 2026 MCA Season Finale · Race #5 for RAC MTB
The 2026 season wrapped up on Minnesota’s Iron Range! Redhead Mountain Bike Park, part of the Minnesota Discovery Center in Chisholm, is carved from the walls of an abandoned water-filled mine pit, with hand-crafted, purpose-built trails and a custom-designed State Championship course that tested every rider’s skills.
Conditions were tough for everyone. From Saturday afternoon into Sunday, temperatures soared above 85 degrees with no breeze and full sun on parts of the course, making for hot, dusty racing that tested every rider. We are so proud of all our riders for how they handled it. We’re proud of every rider from the whole season too, including those who didn’t race at all or didn’t compete at state. You all make this team what it is!
