Timing
All races will be professionally chip timed with a disposable timing chip attached to your bike bib. Please attach to your handlebars on the front of your bike. Live results will be available during the event at Aravaipa Live

Duo Teams
We will offer a duo team option for the 6 Hour race. 6 Hour Team participants are comprised of two riders on a single team who complete laps one at a time for their team. You decide who rides which laps and how many. Riders may elect to ride more than one loop in a row, but switching between riders may be done only in the transition zone at the start/finish area.

Camping
We've partnered up with Usery Mountain Regional Park to offer on site camping in their attached parking lot. Feel free to bring your van, truck or camper and spend the night on site after your race is over. Camping permits are $15/unit per night and can be purchased with registration or with this link: Camping Permit.

Mountain Biking and Trash
Please respect the trails and the beauty of the desert by disposing of any trash at one of our aid stations. We do recycle and participate in the Terracycle program where we recycle used nutrition packets and gel wrappers. Please deposit them in the specified container at the feed station.

Trail Etiquette
Remember to always remain on designed trails, no short cutting.
Headphones are not permitted. No E- Bikes.

This course includes some legit single track. If you are fast and attempting to pass, please alert the rider in front of you before flying past them. Likewise, if you hear a rider approaching you from behind, attempt to find a spot to allow the pass once it is safe to do so.

As a general rule, when passing a rider, announce, “on your left.” Remain in control and respect the other participants.
Everyone is after the same goal here so let’s be respectful of each other’s races and have fun.

Pets
For the safety of all individuals, no pets are allowed on-course at the night races. Any pets at the race must be on a leash at all times, respect park rules, and be supervised.

Volunteers
If you would like to join our volunteer team, we are looking for help with event setup, aid station, and event breakdown. Volunteer perks include a piece of Aravaipa merchandise or race goody and Aravaipa Race Credits. Sign up to volunteer here!
