Shimano Youth Series
The Youth Series is designed to give children an opportunity to compete like their parents in a positive and fun environment. Over the years, the Shimano Youth Series has expanded to include over 100 races per year, reaching over 5000 kids.
The Shimano Youth Series is free to children ages 12 & under. Kids receive a t-shirt, stickers, extra goodies, a numberplate, and a shiny new gold medal. Parent cyclists ride and race with the kids, providing motivational and physical support.
Racers that make the trip up to Duluth for the Powder Monkey MTB Race will be treated to one wild ride. The race course will offer you a 4-6 mile loop with everything from lung searing climbs to white knuckled decents, along with the best singletrack in the state. This will be the closest thing to a Mountain Bike race you will get in the upper Midwest. This course will truly challenge every mountain biker that dares to take on the Monkey.
