The Landmine Classic is a "don't miss" race. Not only is it the Root 66 Series finale, it also is the longest single-lap course in the series. This race features a one-loop course: 6 miles for novice/first time racers, 11 miles for Cat 3 (beginner) and 25 miles for Cat 1 (expert), Cat 2 (sport), and Pro. We also offer a marathon option where you do two 25-miles laps.

Almost entirely on singletrack, this race showcases a great deal of what Wompatuck has to offer trail-wise as well as some of the historic features of the park (including bunkers, blasting walls, etc.) from when the park was used as a military compound. Over the 25 miles you will encounter almost every type of trail situation - rocks, roots, berms, pavement (minimal), fast and slow trails, etc. This course takes you through the best of New England mountain biking!

All of the proceeds from the race go right back to the park. Using proceeds from previous years' races, we were able to reclaim South Field, the site of the race, to make the area a more family friendly, open space to enjoy. We also have opened new trails, resurfaced bridges, and completed general park maintenance with proceeds.

Pre-registration saves you money and saves us time on race day! There are NO HIDDEN FEES when preregistering. We will have extra volunteers staffing the pre-registration entries, so it will also save you time on race day, giving you plenty of time to warm up, be indecisive about last minute adjustments to you bike, and to get to the bathroom before there is a line. So we all win with pre-registration! Pre-register today!

Note: A USA cycling license is required to race.  One day memberships for Cat 3 and Cat 2 racers may be purchased for an additional $5.  ALL Cat 1/Pro racers MUST have an annual USA Cycling license.
