About
The Grind Junior XC MTB Race invites young riders of all levels to Mt Van Hoevenberg to experience the thrill of racing during the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series Lake Placid weekend. Racers will start and finish under the official World Series gantry—just like the pros—on a dynamic 2-mile (3.5 km) course. Riders can choose 1–3 laps, taking on fast and wide cross-country ski trails, two sections of twisty singletrack, and one big climb.
