Otter Creek MTB Race
Race Details:

The 2022 Otter Creek presented by 701 Cycle & Sport is an XC Mountain Bike Race that takes place in the heart of NoDak at the beautiful Harmon Lake just north of Mandan, ND.

We are bringing back CASH prizes for 2022, increasing the pot for the 55- mile race, and NEW for 2022 will be cash prizes in the 35-mile race as well Total cash prizes of more than $4200! The Overall Top 3 Men and Overall Top 3 Women finishers in the 55-mile Expert Race and the 35-mile Sport Race will be awarded cold hard cash!

With the addition of brand new singletrack at Harmon Lake, this race provides an experience for everyone as it follows the contours of the beautiful lake. The trail provides everything from canopy covered technical to wide-open, fast and flowy singletrack. This year's distances include: Beginner 13-miles, Sport 35-miles, and Expert 55-miles (3 laps). We will be capping the race at 200 participants for 2022, so get registered early! We started offering an E-Bike category back in 2020 for the Sport Race and have received great feedback. We want to give everyone, including E-Bike riders an opportunity to race, therefore the 35-mile Sport Race will have an E-Bike Category again this year! Updated Trail Maps can be found at: https://www.trailforks.com

When you register, you will notice 2 categories for each race: "Race Pace" and "Party Pace". To keep things running smoothly at the start line, we are encouraging you to register how you plan to race. These categories will determine the starting groups. "Race Pace" is for competitors that are out there to hammer hard all day, possibly looking to get on a podium. "Party Pace" is for the racers that like a little more room, that may be coming to the event with the goal of crossing the finish line, that are planning to ride with friends, and that may be stopping along the course to snap a pic or two.

First come, first serve camping is available right on site. Please note, the campground fills up nearly every weekend. Harmon Lake also provides a beach and other family fun activities.

**Registrations after May 25th will not include a race t-shirt**

FREE KIDS RACE - there will be a free kid's race again in 2022. More details will come on that later.

*** Weather/Refund Policy: In the instance of uncontrollable (weather) circumstances OC & 701 reserve the right to alter or cancel the event with no refund as they see fit. We will do our best to run the race and give every rider an enjoyable experience, but will not put anyone's safety at risk.****
