Get ready for the ultimate mountain biking adventure at the Paradise Royale MTB Race! Held on California’s stunning Lost Coast, this race features a thrilling 12.2-mile course with a 2,043-foot elevation gain, breathtaking ocean views, and two crossings of Bear Creek. Categories include Elite, Sport, and Youth for both male and female riders, with Elite riders tackling a challenging two-lap course. There will be a 90-minute lap cut-off for the long course, ensuring that only the best make it to the finish.
This race is more than just a competition—it's about community. We’re proud to partner with the Mountain Bike Tribal Trail Alliance (MBTTA), a veteran-led group dedicated to sharing mountain biking and recreational opportunities with our community. MBTTA operates as a program of HSC, in partnership with Two Feathers Native American Family Services and the Warrior Institute. Two Feathers empowers Native youth and their families through culturally-affirming programs, while the Warrior Institute promotes healthy lifestyles and cultural pride. Together with other community partners, they’re making this event a true celebration of resilience and culture.
