Conquer rugged trails at the Mid-Atlantic's premier MTB showdown!

The Big Elk Off-Road MTB Race is slated for August 16, 2025, at Maryland’s renowned Fair Hill State Natural Resources Management Area in Elkton. As the finale for the Mid-Atlantic Super Series (MASS) XC & Endurance circuit, this event draws mountain bike racers from across the region for a day of challenging terrain, scenic forest, and fast-flowing singletrack. Professional organization, an energetic atmosphere, and the prestige of being part of the MASS finals make this an essential date on the off-road cycling calendar.

The course at Fair Hill features a mix of flowy singletrack, technical forested sections, and gravel paths characteristic of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. (Specific course length and elevation gain for 2025 are not provided in the current sources.)
