Cascadia Dirt Cup 2015 Schedule

The Cascadia Dirt Cup, presented by Cannondale, is proud to announce the 2015 race schedule. The CDC continues to evolve into a premier enduro race series with 2 new venues as well as introducing the Cascadia National Enduro and Marathon XC Championships.


The CDC Difference
A non-profit division under Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, the CDC partners with local trail advocacy groups to host each race and donate 100% of profits back to the trails. Over the last 2 years the CDC has donated $30,000 to local trail groups in support of their efforts to build and maintain the trails we love to ride and race. The CDC aims to donate $20,000 in 2015.


New for 2015
-The Cascadia National Enduro and Marathon XC Championships. Cascadia is spectacular enough to be a nation on its own, that’s why the CDC is hosting a “national” Championship. Come show your Northwest pride this June to claim your place among the best riders in the land. No licenses or residency requirements. Category winners will receive a Cascadia National Champion jersey.

-CDC Advisory Committee. The CDC has formed an advisory committee comprised of riders from the series. From a racer’s perspective, the committee will help guide race organizers and shape the future of the series.

-A new Veteran Pro (40+) category, which the CDC will make a $500 donation to a trail organization of the series winners choice.

-We are also revising the point system and the self seeding/upgrade guidlines.

-CDC sponsored work parties. Racing on trails can be damaging; especially to the ones that have not been originally built with mountain biking in mind. The CDC is committed to leaving our venues in better shape than before we raced. Racers who attend CDC work parties can earn steep discounts on gear and future CDC events.
