Race & Event Details
UCI’s debut at Mt Van Hoevenberg is one of 15 weekends of racing in a global series that spans 10 countries and tests pro riders across a wide range of courses and climates as they look to accumulate points toward an overall championship.
Put a pack of the world’s most highly motivated, highly skilled racers on a condensed track over a shorter distance, and watch excitement shoot sky high. XCC races are scheduled at the start of a race weekend, and the results decide the start order for the XCO races to come. It’s extremely fast-paced with loads of action!
As the only mountain bike racing format in the Olympic Games, the XCO discipline at Mt Van Hoevenberg will see many riders just coming off the 2024 Paris Summer Games. The race’s mass start will send a pack of the world’s best riders going hard and fighting for position on a track that will put their amazing abilities to the test. A set number of laps with strikingly steep climbs made to induce pain followed quickly by downhill stretches that will test the full range of bike handling skills.
Cross-country Marathon sees racers compete on grueling 100km courses. Not only is a racer’s endurance tested, but also their ability to adapt to different terrain, as well as being able to play the mind games of racing in a fast-moving pack. Are you ready to see how grueling this sport can get?
Multiple spectating areas will be available throughout the course. Easily accessible viewing is located in the stadium, and is accessible from the Expo area or the Mountain Pass Lodge. Those up for a hike are encouraged to explore the course featuring large spectator areas above the Stadium and at the Reservoir. Designated crossing areas will help you navigate the course safely.
• FOOD | Enter the Expo where you’ll find a mix of delicious food and beverage options sure to suit everyone’s taste.
• STADIUM | The Expo continues into the Stadium with open Paddocks, Elite Teams, and spectator areas at the start and finish line.
• EXHIBITORS | An exciting mix of unique crafts, exclusive merchandise, and live entertainment. Experience the Adirondack atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.

The WHOOP UCI Mountain Biking World Series weekend includes an Open Marathon on Saturday, September 28, a 50 km / 31 mi (2 x 25 km) amateur race on the same course that the professionals will tackle over 100 km (about 62 mi) on the next day. The course winds through the iconic Olympic cross country ski trails featuring staggering elevation changes and technical obstacles, testing rider strength, agility, and focus. This layout provides a front row seat where spectators can see the race unfold before their eyes and riders can hear the cheers and roars of the crowd, creating an electric atmosphere.
From the village of Lake Placid to the competition venue guests can experience world class competition and historic venues, outdoor recreation, unique attractions, and the Adirondack-themed festival with live music. Join us in Lake Placid, two-time Olympic host city, and experience it for yourself!
