Special 2020 anouncement!

Lemurian Classic is going digital!

While we want to see your smiling faces on race day just as much as you want to toe the line with your competitors, we have to face reality that the pandemic makes reality a bit different this year. In response, we have worked closely with Shasta County Public Health and the Bureau of Land Management to come up with something that will still offer you the chance to compete against fellow athletes on the same amazing course as last year, but without the issue of the large crowds that our normal race would attract. Our solution is a digital XC race but no DH Race.

2020 Lemurian Digital XC Race - what does that mean:

Event Dates - This year's event will still start on 10-10-2020, but it will run until midnight on 10-25. The virtual awards ceremony will be streamed online the evening of the 26th.

How You Will Race - You pick the time and date you want to race! Just email us before you head out on the course, record your ride on strava and submit that ride to us after you have finished. One race per person. We will keep an updated leaderboard on our website.

The Race Course - The courses will be very similar to last year, but there will be a few changes to not only include more single track, but to help make clearer distinctions between the three courses. The courses will be well marked with arrows that are color coordinated with the three different courses. These course markings will be checked regularly by volunteers to ensure they are still up. You only get one race run, but you can preride as much as you want! More details and final courses will be released 1 to 2 weeks prior to the race start date.

Pre-Ride - As noted above, you will get one official chance to race but can pre-ride the course as many times as you want.

Lemurian Tee Shirt and More - Just like Lemurian Classics of the past, your race entry will still get you a Lemurian Classic t-shirt (FREE for those registered by Sept 13th), a 2020 Lemurian Classic sticker and coaster, a burrito from Burrito Bandito and a free beer ticket for Fall River Brewing (redeemable at the Tap House and Brewery, only for those 21 and over) and a chance to win over $8,000 in amazing prizes during our virtual awards ceremony to be held on the evening of October 26th.

Details - visit The Race page for all the fine details on how to race.

No Chainless DH Race - We are sad to announce that unfortunately we will not hold the Chainless DH this year as it just didn’t seem to fit with this format.

No Entry Limit - Since we have gone digital, we are no longer are limiting the amount of racers to 200. So if you have wanted to race and have been a little apprehensive due to the intimidation of rubbing elbows with other racers, or you are a seasoned racer and want a reason to destroy your legs going for the best time and a podium, then this year's race is for you! Registration will close at 5 PM on October 9th.

Thank you for understanding! We are doing our absolute best to not only give you a fun event, but to raise funds to continue to build and maintain trails for your enjoyment.

Cheers

The Lemurian Classic Race Committee.
