Portland Short Track Series

Mountain Bike Short Track race ~ [MTB shôrt trak ras]
a mountain bike race similar to a criterium where riders do multiple laps on a short 3-5 min course.
Very fast and fun!

We are a group of bike lovers, committed to offering Portland a fun and affordable summer mountain bike race series, open to all ages and all abilities.

Discover the thrill of racing your bike on a wickedly fun, off-road course; part motocross track, part grassy flats, part twisty singletrack under the trees.

This summer, for seven weeks in a row, you can be a kid again!
