Race / XC
The Stafford Lake Rattler XC + Juniors Fundraiser is Sunday, November 8 at Stafford Lake County Park in Novato.
Real XC racing on a multi-lap course that mixes dedicated MTB trail, singletrack, fire road, doubletrack and Stafford Lake Bike Park terrain. Categories run from 12 & Under through Elite, with race distances from 6.1 to 19.3 miles depending on class.
And the Rattler is more than just the race. It’s also our Bay Area Juniors Fundraiser, giving junior MTB programs a chance to race together and raise money for their teams. Once a team qualifies with four junior riders, every registered team rider generates $25 for the program.
There’s also a big bonus from FOX Factory: the junior team/program with the most registered racers will receive its choice of any FOX suspension fork — something they can use directly or turn into an additional fundraiser. Thank you to Ridefoxbike for supporting our juniors program!
Watch the video. Check out the course. Then come race it.
