ALWAYS THE SATURDAY OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Support kids on bikes
The Hopewell Challenge IS NOT a NICA sanctioned race: but it is a fun-raiser for a NICA sanctioned team.
$1.00 of your registration fee will go toward the Bucks for Bikes program to support the league and get kids on bikes.
New for 2021:
Less expensive
Simpler
SLIGHTLY LATER start time
The Hopewell Challenge is a mountain bike race on purpose-built, single-track trails located in rural Central Pennsylvania to benefit THE HAMMERS, interscholastic mountain biking team.
What this race is not:
Fancy - we are here to have fun and ride bikes. Not a big-time production.
NICA sanctioned - it’s too hard to be a NICA race or Local Dirt.
What the race IS:
A very real, challenging course with multiple level challenges
A great way to support our local mountain bike team
Hard, but not overly technical.
