Beti Bike Bash
The largest women's mountain bike race in the country, held near Elbert with cross-country lap racing on a newly moved October weekend.
The vibe
Largest women's MTB gathering
Beti Bike Bash has grown into the biggest women’s mountain bike race in the country, and it shows in the atmosphere — this isn’t just a start line, it’s a gathering. Riders come from all over for the cross-country lap format near Elbert, where the course is set up so friends and family can cheer from the same spot multiple times over.
The lap racing structure means you can pick your distance by choosing how many laps to sign up for, which makes it approachable for riders stepping up to their first real MTB race alongside veterans racing for placement. The move to an October date this year gives it cooler temperatures than its previous summer slot.
Whether you’re racing to win or racing to finish, the community energy here is the real draw — it’s built by women, for women, at a scale most MTB races never reach.
