Dirty 66 MTB Race at Fellows Lake

4 distances to choose from.

Come experience the fun, fast and flowy race that is the HEARTBREAKER.

This is the one must-do race of the year! The Heartbreaker course (at Creve Coeur's Bootlegger Tail) is as fun as they come! However, this beginner friendly course demands your full attention; the trees and turns come quickly.

Keep your guard up or the HEARTBREAKER might just live up to it's name.

The Heartbreaker MTB will be raced on Creve Coeur Park's Bootlegger’s Trail

It is fast, tight, and will snag your handlebar to throw you down if not careful when threading the needle between trees. The course will run clockwise from the Start/Finish Area and is approx. 5 miles/lap.

The Dirty Donut is the first event of its kind to be held on dirt roads.  It offers four different distances of races, 10, 22, 41, and 61 miles, and welcomes a wide variety of cyclists.  Everyone from the very serious racer to those that just want a fun riding experience has a place at this event.

Serious racers will opt for the “Sprint” race, which is conducted much like any other gravel race and the winners are the first to finish.  “Donut” racers will opt for a bit more strategy in a race where the winner is oftentimes not the fastest rider, but the rider who can combine speed with how many donuts they can eat.  In the Donut races, each race distance has “donut stops” positioned along the race route.  Participants deduct five minutes from their final finish time for each donut they consume at one of our “donut stops” in the race.

The race will start and finish at Martin High School in Martin, Michigan.  A very beautiful high quality medal will be presented to everyone who finishes and we have even more hardware for our divisional and age-division winners!

There are so many ways for a person to win in this race it will make your head spin.  Be sure to check the awards page before registering so you have a complete understanding of all the ways you can win.

Choose between 20K, 50K, or 100K of leg-searing climbs.

What better way to highlight an MES than by going to a location no one thought could be worthy of an enduro? Well... anyone who came for the "sneak peek" back in the fall knows that this enduro is legit. It has it all. Castlewood is a mix of old-school hiking trails that have evolved very little. What does this mean? Perfect enduro trails. Couple this with some little-known secrets and some MES sprinkling of raw lines at Zombie and we have the makings of a great enduro. Do you think you know this area? You don’t know SAS. We think you may never ride this area the same again once you race it.
The Missouri Enduro Series brings all of the components a racer expects.
