Spectating at Two Rivers

For the safety of our student athletes, no spectating is permitted in the woods along the singletrack trails at Two Rivers.

Please do not cross the course tape at any time. For the safety of all event participants, only cross the course at designated crossing gates.

Spectators are permitted in areas indicated on the map. Spectators are also permitted to hike or ride up the access road to cheer for athletes at the top of the hill. All spectators must remain off of all of the singletrack trails and features at Two Rivers. Please follow the instructions of all league course marshals and volunteers.

Areas off limits to event participants

Two Rivers Mountain Bike Park offers the thrills of jumps and drop sections, rock features, built-in curved walls, and other optional trail features. During the Missouri NICA event weekend (Saturday @ 9AM – Sunday @ 4PM), these features are OFF LIMITS to NICA student-athletes and coaches in an effort to reduce land impact and to prevent injuries. Failure to comply is an Orange Level violation of Handbook section 1.2.A and could result in the following consequences:

First Offense: 10-minute penalty

Second Offense: Disqualification from the Two Rivers race

Alternatively, we encourage everyone to come back during a non-NICA weekend and experience everything Two Rivers has to offer!

Race information

Course description

Expect a course worthy of a season finale! 

This course will be a true test of the skills and fitness that you’ve gained this season! The loop starts with a gradual climb up to the highest point in the park. Expect some rollers and a mixture of singletrack as you climb. Next, enjoy some of the park’s best singletrack before the reward of a fast, flowing descent! Be prepared for plenty of rocks, roots and a few off-camber turns. At the bottom of the descent, the trail opens up to allow for passing but be sure to be in a good position going into the last stretch of singletrack before the finish.

Category staging and start times

Please be on time for staging and listen for your call up number and name. Late student athletes will be placed at the back of the category.

A detailed category schedule will be available soon.
