Santa Fe Haka Mountain Bike Marathon
Saturday Sept 1
Glorieta Camp

Haka: traditional dance of the Māori people. “We don’t own this place, we
belong to it. We are guardians of this place.”

What: A mountain bike race. No entry fee (donations ARE welcome), no
t-shirt, no podium, just bragging rights. The course WILL be something to
brag about. It will be big. It will be in the backcountry on rugged single
track. It will be a quality course if you don’t mind a bit of hike-a-bike
and some downed trees. You will need to use your judgment and decide which
parts of the downhill you should ride and which parts you may just want to
walk. Race as an individual or sign up with friends and ride a bit,
backcountry course together.

Where: Start/Finish will be at Glorieta Camp RV parking lot. The vast
majority of the A and B course will be in Santa Fe National Forest outside
Glorieta Camp. *The entire course will be marked so no maps or GPS will be
necessary to navigate the course.*

Routes:
• A (BIG) Loop: ~28 miles, 4800+ vertical feet, mid-pack finish time 5.5
hours.
• B (not as BIG) Loop: ~16 miles, 3000 vertical feet, mid-pack finish time
3 hours.

The A loop will have a bail out spot at approx. 18 miles in case anyone is
not up for the full A loop. We will also offer water at the 18 mile bail
out spot and we will shuttle drop bags to the 18 mile point. Plan your food
and water accordingly. You will be self supported during the race.

NOTE: The full course will be serious undertaking. Don’t let the mileage
lull you into a false sense of security. This will be a big day for the A
and B groups. Anyone feeling up to the challenge is encouraged to
participate.

Cold beverages will be served at the finish.
