All New Courses for 2026 〰️
4 all new courses!
For the first time that we are aware of, the Lemurian is offering up 4 courses to make sure there is something for everyone. From a course that will challenge any pro, to a course that someone who has just gotten into the sport will be comfortable on, we should have something for everyone, as long as everyone loves epic singletrack! Check out the routes below, and pick one that you want to race. Please keep in mind that the long and sport course with have cutoff times at Stoney Gulch. Once those times are determined we will have them posted up here.
Expert & Pro Course
28 miles & 3,850 ft
Gone are the days of climbing the escalator twice, yeah we know its a great climbing trail, but 25 miles into a brutal race it can be a real mind F to climb it a second time. Instead, we are making you climb all the way to the top of Mule Mountain, after which you will descend the all new upper section of Ono. This will be a hand built black diamond trail. For those not super confident in their downhill capabilities keep in mind that you might be walking some of it. Also, please be aware that the upper section of Ono does not exist as of the posting of these routes, so if you try and ride it now, you will be sorely disappointed. We anticipate completion of the trail sometime in January of 2026.
Another big change to the Pro/Expert route is the removal of the Enticer Jump trail. Instead you will travers across Wintu Yemer to get back to the finish line. Speaking of which, we have moved the finish line to the same location as the start. This will allow for better spectating and the chance for a sprint finish!
These changes, combined with the changes to the other courses, will greatly minimize our pro and expert riders from having to pass sport or beginner riders!
Sport Course
17 miles & 2,200 ft
The new sport course excludes trip through Buckhollow to eliminate two way traffic on a small but fast section of Mule Town road. Sport riders will continue past the Igo trail climb and instead climb up the new, mellower, K’ulu:l trail! The final change comes at the end of the course, where you will no longer climb Owens, but instead climbed the very lower section of Enticer to the Homesteader trail. After descending back down to the event area of past years, you will continue on to Delano drive on the Clear Creek Ditch trail and back to the start which now doubles as the finish line. This will allow for better spectating and a sprint finish!
Short Sport Course
9.5 miles & 1,200 ft
The new “Short Sport” course is very similar to our “Short” course of years past. The only major difference is you do not climb Owens to Enticer. As with all of the other courses, you will finish on Delano Drive at the same place you started. This allows for better spectating and a sprint finish!
