From 10am-4pm Solo riders and two-person tag teams compete for the most laps on our 10-mile course of some of Western New York's most exciting trails. A pumping transition area, clearly marked course, two water stations and always positive vibe sets the stage for the summers most demanding annual event. Go for it solo or grab a teammate-6 Hours of Power is a test of stamina, endurance and pure adrenalin that will send all participants home with that sneering grin mountain bikers know too well. Post-race pasta party (complimentary for all competitors) starts at 4:30pm. Awards ceremony at 6:00pm.

Race Format: Bikes in racks by 9:45am. Pre-race meeting at 9:45am. at 10am the Race begins with a 1/4 mile LeMans Running Start around our grassy and gravel grandstand area. Solo riders and the starting team rider complete the run and retreive their bikes beginning their first laps. After completing laps riders dismount and walk through the transition area where lap times & rider numbers are recorded. After passing through the transition area (Start/Finish Line) riders re-mount and begin their next lap. Here teammates tag their rider that is waiting in the team transition area. Any rider can stop to repair, refuel or rest after passing through the transition area where rider pit areas are located. At 3:59:59pm the last rider is allowed through to begin their final lap and finish times are taken at 4:00pm. Quit before 4:00pm-DNF.
The Course: 10-mile laps featuring 1,200' of climbing per lap. Course starts with 1-mile of fire-road. Enter single track-and plenty of it. Tight, manicured and unforgiving single track greets riders through water station 1. A short gravel section sends riders into a healthy stretch of some of the finest and most sought after trail in our region on State Land. Water station #2 and a 3/4-mile section of gravel road gives those power plants a short break before entering back onto resort property and back down the mountain to the transition area, Start/Finish line.
Pit Areas: Any rider or team can set up a pit area around our start/finish area as of 7:00am on Race-Day only. Typically riders bring a 10x10 EZ-Up style tent and have their crew, friends or teammates "hang tight" while the race goes on providing support.
