New Format for 2011!

Hey everybody, we are excited to announce that we are changing the Blue Mound race to a distance format, and starting our longest event at 10am. This later start time will give more racers the option of driving to the event the morning of the event. No more 3am wake-ups or camping required.

The new events are:
70-mile starting at 10:00am (8 laps)
35-mile starting at 1:00pm (4 laps)
15-mile starting at 3:00pm (2 laps)
All distances will use the long course from the past two years. Each lap is approximately 8.6396874 miles with 1.7576 furlongs of climbing (yes, Nate and I have had a few).

We think everyone will be excited about these changes, and you better show up in force this year or it might be your last chance! We are hard at work lining up our sponsors and planning for the event, so check back often for the latest updates.

Thank you!

Thank you to all our volunteers, racers and sponsors for helping to make our race a success. With all the rain we got (again) on Friday night, we delayed the 12-hour race to a 10am start. Once the race got underway everyone seemed to be having a great time. Lap times were only slightly slower than last year and we had no major injuries, just a few scrapes.

Congratulations to Randy Wegener for winning the Gary Fisher Rig singlespeed, and to the dozens of winners in our Planet Bike, REI, Hammer Nutrition and Ale Asylum raffle.

Please help us spread the word about our event, and we'll see you next year! You should start seeing posts here about next year's race in a couple of months.

Thanks again,
Kevin and Nate

Also, if you're not too tired from racing on Saturday, Bring your road bike, skinsuit, and aero helmet for a hill climb time trial. CORP's sister club, the Viking Biking Club, is putting on L'Alpe Bl'Huez Time Trial on Sunday September 19th.

Whether you race the TT or not, you can cheer the roadies on as they struggle up Mounds Park Rd. to the finish line at the top of the mound. Bring your cowbell!

New Date! September 18th, 2010.

Greetings everyone,

We have secured a new date for the race. The 12 Hours of Blue Mound will be Saturday, September 18th. We were unable to use the WEMS scheduled rain date as the park is public hunting grounds and there is a gun deer hunt on that date.

Online registraion is active again up until Midnight Wednesday September 15th and mail-in registrations should be postmarked by Saturday September 11th.

Click the blue button above to register online.

Hope everyone can make it!

Thanks,
Nate and Kevin

Race Postponed!

Hey Racers,

Unfortunately, the 12 Hours of Blue Mound is postponed. We've been getting a steady heavy rain this morning and the forecast for tonight isn't any better. Combine that with already wet trails and we've got a slippery, dangerous race course. Stay tuned for a rescheduled date!

Thanks,
Nate and Kevin

Got Family?

Hey Racers,


Wondering what to do with your family while you're out suffering on the toughest race course in the Midwest? Bring them along of course! Starting at 1:30 PM, there is a free kids race! Be sure to bring their bikes too!

Blue Mound State Park also has a swimming pool including a zero depth pool for the really small kids and our race course passes right by the pool so you'll see them once every lap!
