For Maine's first 12 hour mountain bike relay race, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 22 at Bradbury Mountain State Park, teams in all categories will be doing laps around the eastern trails from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The event also features food vendors, a kids race and special events throughout the day.

According to race director Pat Hackleman, “the race is modeled after other 12 hour mountain bike relay races around the country. The course is an all ability levels course. You don't have to be an expert racer to enter a four or more person team.” Proceeds from this event will benefit the Friends of Bradbury, a newly formed non-profit providing trail construction, maintenance and awareness throughout the park.
