About this race

Crystal Rush is a brand-new spring mountain bike race at Crystal Mountain, bringing true XCO action to Michigan on a 3.1-mile(ish) lap packed with options and excitement.  Part of the new Boundless Race and Ride Company Grand Prix, it will offer cash prizes and amazing awards.
 
Riders can choose their own adventure each lap: send it on the A-line with jumps, drops, and tech, or take the slightly longer, more traditional B-line down the mountain. Designed in collaboration with Kyan Olshove, Rob Martin (Bike Life with Rob), and Earl Whitney (Crystal Mountain trail guy), Crystal Rush delivers something fresh, fast, and seriously fun to the state’s MTB scene. With projected lap times as quick as 14 minutes, the finish line will be rocking from the opening lap to the final sprint.

We will have the same post-race party that you’ve come to know and love at Peak2Peak, so sign up today to be part of the inaugural Crystal Rush!
