Downhill Midwest #2 - Marquette Mountain

Downhill Midwest - Marquette Mountain

The second of 3 races in the 2026 Downhill Midwest Series!

Come race some USA Cycling sanctioned downhill in Marquette Michigan at Marquette Mountain!

Race Weekend Schedule

• Practice Days: Come out for 3 days of fun! Practice Friday and Saturday, with optional seeding runs Saturday afternoon for Cat 2 and Cat 1/Pro.
• Race Day: Racing action on Sunday!
• Lift Pass: After registering you will get a link to purchase your 3-day lift pass for $80 from Marquette Mountain.
• Lift Access: This will be one of the only times this year you will get to use the lift at Marquette Mountain due to the projects on the hill.

Lift Access Details

Depending on the number of racers, we may restrict your access of the lift to your assigned practice times. This way we can keep lines short and get you more practice! Watch for future communication on this.

Race Experience

Our goal is to give racers a similar experience to what they may see at a Monster Energy Pro Downhill race. This way if you decide to travel to one of those races, you already have an idea of what you’re getting into physically and mentally.

Course Information

• Two Courses: We will have two courses.
• Cat 1/Pro: Announced the week of the race. But expect something new!!
• Cat 3 Racers: Will be on Jawbone. An approachable trail for beginners of all ages to come try out downhill!
• Race Times: Sunday’s race times won’t be posted until Saturday night. Check socials and your emails.

Registration Information

Depending on registration numbers, we reserve the right to combine age categories. Prices will go up July 6th and again July 27th. So register early to save some money!!

USA Cycling License

• License Requirement: All Racers will need to have a USA Cycling License.
