The U.S. Cup returns to Fayetteville, Arkansas in April for a second year of pro and amateur cross-country mountain bike racing at Centennial Park.

This year’s Moosejaw U.S. Pro Cup p/b OZ Trails will see a “compact” week of racing, kicking off on Wednesday, April 20 and concluding on Sunday, April 24th. 

There will be four days of racing on the schedule. Wednesday is a UCI C1 for elites and junior racers. Friday, racing will return with a short track for Elites and juniors, as well as an all new CAT 1 men and women open category on Friday evening.

All four days of racing, including amateur racing will be livestreamed on FloBikes.

“We are excited to be back for our second year of racing at Centennial Park,” says Ty Kady, U.S. Cup race director. “I feel the livestream partnership with FloBikes is going to take this event to the next level and really show people how special this venue and course is. We are going to be able to bring pro and amateur mountain bike racing into people’s homes and to their devices worldwide.”

Saturday will see the first of two amateur cross-country races in the morning, followed by a UCI Junior XCO series event. This designation will offer junior riders the chance at some of the most UCI points available in North America.

Sunday will see amateur racers return in the morning for their second race. In the afternoon, UCI elite women will kick off the fireworks, followed by the UCI elite men.

This year’s race is expected to bring a high level of racers including Olympians, national champions and up and coming talent.
