The Wente 8-hour mountain bike race is far beyond just your typical relay event. It is a full 3-day weekend expedition for your friends and family in one of the most magical places on earth: Wente Scout Reservation.
This team and solo mountain bike race fills very fast because it is limited to just 550 competitors. In reality, the scale of the event is larger than this because racers come with friends and family. It's what makes this experience so special.
Wente Scout Reservation plays host to thousands of scouts each year and introduces a large portion of them to the joy of mountain biking. The Wente 8-Hour MTB Relay Race does a lot to contribute to the further development of this program, and in its way, the future mountain bikers of America. Whether you've been a part of Wente's regular programming, or have never been exposed to the world of scouting, you're in for a great treat during this weekend.
Over and over and over again. The fastest recorded lap times hover just over 37 minutes.
This race course features some of the funnest mountain biking trails that were ever created. Unfathomable numbers of hours of blood, sweat, tears, busted knuckles, torn fingernails, rashes of poison oak, hayfever and scraped up knees continue to be necessary in order to maintain what this private trail network is capable of delivering.
At the Wente 8 hour race, you get the rare opportunity of experiencing this trail system yourself. We hope that you will appreciate what it is capable of doing for kids who cut their teeth here every year, and discover the love of mountain biking for the very first time.
