Areas off Limits to Event Attendees:
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 Course Information
Course Description:
Expect a state championship worthy course at Two Rivers!
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.
REMINDER: cell phone service is limited at Two Rivers.
