Fears Tears and Beers MTB Enduro

Fears, Tears & Beers is America’s oldest, and still rowdiest, enduro bike race

Fears, Tears and Beers is America’s first and longest running MTB Enduro Race.  A fundraiser Great Basin Trails Alliance. Divisions for beginners all the way up to professional. Afterparty with massive raffle. Equal purse for men and women.

Fears, Tears, and Beers is an enduro format mountain bike event. Pedal your bike to the top of the mountain and then you are timed at specific sections of the course. There will be 2-7 timed sections, mostly twisty downhills and sprint sections. The sum of the times on these special tests will determine the winner.

The event takes place on BLM and USFS administered lands under special use permits.
Men’s and women’s events for all classes.

Fun Run: Shorter in length and less climbing than the beginner class, 2 timed sections

Beginner Class: 17.5 miles, 2,300′ elevation gain, 3 timed sections
Sport Class: 26.6 miles, 3,500′ elevation gain, 4 timed sections

Expert Class: 33.3 miles, 5,400′ elevation gain, 6 timed sections

Pro Class: 40 miles, 5,700′ elevation gain, 7 timed sections

Be prepared for the weather. We have had everything from hot and sunny to very wet and snowing.

After-party/awards ceremony at Bristlecone Convention Center. Racers eat free, others will need purchase wristband for $10.
The event is also great for visitors. Music and celebrating all day at Broadbent Park. Bring your binoculars and lawn chairs to watch the Expert and Pro classes take on the final downhill timed section.
