Get Rolling With The 2024 Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships

Peel Compton Foundation

The 2024 USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships kick off today at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve in Bentonville, with events lasting through Nov 17.

  • Let The Good Times Roll: The Championships were relocated to Bentonville after Hurricane Helene caused a postponement in North Carolina. Top collegiate mountain biking athletes from across the nation will gather in Northwest Arkansas this week to showcase their skills.

  • Experience The Thrill: There will be limited access to trails at Coler this week, but the public is invited to witness the thrilling races at designated spectator zones. Food trucks and Airship Coffee will provide refreshments at the Coler Homestead, and on Saturday, Airship Coffee will host the "Fuel for a Cause Pancake Breakfast" from 7-11a to raise funds for the upkeep of Coler’s trails.
