Many of you recall the beautiful pre-ride on Saturday and the wet and muddy Sunday last year at Minooka but dare I say, the forecast looks pretty great for our second Event Weekend of 2023!

The start hill at Minooka is famous for it's roaring, costumed crowds encouraging athletes to 'keep pedaling' to make it to the top. Different from Telemark, the roots, rocks and sometimes narrow tree openings use the technical skills student athletes have been practicing. Quick jaunts through the trees allow spectators to see their athletes often. Let's get ready for the fun!

Thank you to MetroMTB and Waukesha County Parks for care and use of this fun trail system!

The Team Pitzone is located near the race start and is ideal for race day operations. Athletes can gather at your Pitzone tent on Sunday to warm-up, get tune-ups and prepare for staging before they race.

There will be a drop-off/pick-up area and some accessible parking spots available near the start/finish for those who need these accommodations on race day.

If you are camping, please walk to the race start. Due to limited day-of parking, please leave your vehicle in your camping area.

REMEMBER TO PURCHASE YOUR PARKING PASS VIA THE LINK ABOVE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WAUKESHA COUNTY PARK PASS ALREADY.

Several food trucks will be onsite Sunday featuring burgers, Jamaican cuisine, hot sandwiches and frozen treats.  Please plan your own food for Saturday.

The simplest truth for the League is that we just can't run events without the help from teams, parents, families and friends - our volunteers. WE NEED YOU! Sign-up below for Minooka and all other events thsi season.

Training is provided, staff is easy to access and you won't miss your athlete's race if you volunteer. 

Greeting, directing traffic, crossing guards, organizing athletes before their race, helping at the finish line and more....there are opportunities for you to help the event run smoothly with just an hour or two of your time.

Which volunteer position is right for you?
Consider your athlete's race schedule and how much time you are willing to give to your athlete’s race to make it successful and awesome. Look at the volunteer signup and find the times that meet your needs. Find jobs that you would enjoy based on the descriptions in the signups and remember, training is provided so give anything a try.

Please contact the League’s fantastic Volunteer Coordinator, Allison Carmody.
