About the Event

The Superior Cycling Association Presents The Sawtooth Challenge Mountain Bike Race on Jackpot/High Climber Trail between Tofte and Lutsen – 20 miles on the best point to point singletrack trail in Minnesota.


REGISTER EARLY - RACE IS LIMITED TO 250 RIDERS. DON’T MISS OUT! REGISTER BY JULY 28 TO BE GUARANTEED A T-SHIRT

 

Starting at the old Tofte airport off the Sawbill Trail in Tofte, riders will climb over 400 feet in elevation on the Sawbill Trail (paved road) in two miles before entering the singletrack trails at the Britton Peak trailhead. From there it is 16 miles on some of the best singletrack this state has to offer, with everything from fast and flowy descents, big climbs, massive rock armoring, incredible views, and challenges galore. The finish will be at Caribou Highlands Resort at Lutsen Mountains where crowds will gather for the after-race party, awards, and festivities of music, food, and beer.
