Arizona’s Original Mountain Bike Stage Race is back with another action-packed 2-day weekend of desert riding, fast racing, and good times.
Since 1991, The Cactus Cup has been the season kickoff for mountain bikers of all levels. In 2027, we’re bringing back the 2-day format with iconic trails, multiple race options, and plenty of ways to take on the weekend.
Race Saturday, race Sunday, or make a full weekend of it and take on one of the two-day Cup options.
Whether you’re chasing the podium or just looking for a fast desert rip, there’s a way to make the Cactus Cup weekend your own.
Same iconic trails. Same legendary Cactus Cup vibe. Two packed days of racing.
Let’s ride!
