The GoFAR Tread the Trails Mountain Bike Races are a great way to get tune-up or get started in your off-road bike racing. While we have held several running trail races and a couple of Obstacle Course, this will be our first Mountain Bike event at the Park!

We opened to the public back in March 2020 right at the time of Covid 19 onset.   Our slogan at GoFAR USA Park is 'Get Out and Play!'
