Go Nuts Biking
Posted On: April 16, 2026 By :Go Nuts Biking is a nationally growing mountain bike race series entering its 11th year, offering professionally organized, family-friendly cycling events across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. As a USA Cycling sanctioned Regional Championship series, we produce cross-country, enduro, endurance, downhill, and short track races designed to showcase both athletes and destinations.
Each event is built as a full weekend experience, typically including a practice or pre-ride day followed by one or two days of racing. Our courses are designed to highlight the natural terrain of each location, with enduro and cross-country formats utilizing varied elevation, technical trail systems, and scenic landscapes. We also produce urban and short track events in downtown settings, creating spectator-friendly courses that bring racing directly into the heart of a community.
Our events regularly attract participants from approximately 10 different states, with riders traveling alongside their families and often staying multiple days to train, explore the area, and experience local tourism. We average 150–300 racers per day and draw over 1,000 spectators throughout a race weekend, generating consistent visitation to hotels, restaurants, and local businesses.
In addition to our race series, we provide professional timing and full race management services for partners, including tourism groups, private parks, and municipalities. This includes supporting community-driven events such as urban mountain bike races, short track series, and custom race activations designed to increase local engagement and economic impact.
Looking ahead, we are expanding internationally with our Champion Enduro Series, which will include premier venues in the United States as well as new destinations in Ecuador and Peru. Our focus is on building long-term partnerships with tourism organizations to create repeatable, annual events that grow in size, visibility, and economic impact year after year.
Go Nuts Biking is a family-run operation led by myself and my wife and partner, Melissa. We are passionate about building events that are competitive, welcoming, and accessible to all levels—from youth and beginner riders to elite athletes—while creating memorable experiences for both participants and host communities.
Our mission is to deliver high-quality racing experiences that showcase destinations, support local economies, and grow the sport of mountain biking in a sustainable and exciting way. Posted in: SportsTravel Archives
