About this race
Do you love riding DH? Ever wanted to let it rip from the summit of Fred’s Mountain at Grand Targhee, down Mill Creek, all the way into Teton Canyon? Sunday, July 19th is your chance.
The 3rd Annual Colter Cup is Targhee’s premier downhill race and the longest downhill race in the Tetons. With 3900’ vertical feet of descent that carries you from the top of Grand Targhee to the bottom of Teton Canyon, this is the only race that leaves the boundaries of the resort and drops you from 10,000’ all the way to Teton Valley.
A time-trial format will have you racing against the clock but choose your bike wisely as there are a couple of short, punchy climbs on the course!
If you’re a competitive downhill racer, or a traditional or adaptive mountain biker looking take advantage of your only opportunity to let loose all the way down Mill Creek, register today! Great camping, good vibes, live music, fun racing.
