Run on a new 8.8km course in the shadow of Cheyenne Mountain, home to NORAD, the race will double as a stop on the US ProXCT series and the final in the US Cup West.

Also including four Wednesday races, the Sand Creek Series will conclude on August 1 at the US Air Force Academy on the Falcon Trail as the State Games of America mountain bike race.
