Taking place on a fast and flowy 0.8-mile closed circuit at Coneflower Campground #3, this "points race" format challenges riders of all skill levels—from juniors to elites—to hunt for mid-race sprints rather than just the final finish. Whether you're looking to sharpen your technical handling on the smooth, rain-or-shine course or aiming for an early lead in the series championship, this event offers a professional racing environment with a community feel.
