Youth Mountain Bike Racing in Oconee County

race with
our team!

The youth mountain bike racing series consists of four regular-season races plus the Peach State Championship for qualifying student atheletes.

The Race Series is a refreshing form of competition

The Georgia Cycling Association Youth Mountain Biking Race Series, presented by Northside Hospital, is for riders of all levels. Whether you’re on pace for a podium position, or just trying to improve from race to race, our coaches will be there to support you and help you reach your goals.  

Race weekends rock. There’s camping, healthy competition, and a sense of community that’s hard to find in other youth sports. Although racing is optional, we encourage our riders and parents to participate. Most do, and nobody ever regrets it.

Not at all. While  we encourage our riders to participate in the race series (it’s an awesome experience!), it is not a requirement.   

WHEN DOES THE RACE SERIES START?

OCTMB’s first 2024 race will be in September. We will publish the race schedule once the season starts.

IS THERE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE?

HOW CAN I HELP OUT AT THE RACES?

Thanks for asking! Prior to every race, we’ll send out a sign-up form to parents. We need volunteers to bring snacks, prepared dishes, drinks, and other essentials to keep our kids performing at their best. The Georgia Cycling Association also needs volunteers on race days, so there’s plenty of opportunities to lend a helping hand. 

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF THE RACE SERIES?

That’s a great question! The Georgia Cycling Association puts out an annual rule book, and we highly recommend that every rider and parent read it!
