Volunteers are critical to the success of this event — dedicated volunteers helped make last year's race safe and memorable.
25 Mile Race
The Cave Creek Cactus Classic (C4) produced by DFMBA, takes riders through 25 miles of beautiful Sonoran desert, with 2,000 feet of elevation gain. Whoa cowboy, think you’re fast? Last year the race winner rode it in 1 hour and 24 minutes! Mortals should plan for 2.5 – 3.5 hours and bring plenty of water!

REFUND POLICY
Sorry, No refunds. Organizing a mountain bike event involves substantial upfront costs, including permits, venue rentals, equipment, safety measures, and marketing efforts. These costs are incurred well before the event date and are often non-refundable. A no refund policy helps cover these costs and allows the event to go ahead as planned.
