Party Pace – This category is for those who want to enjoy the iconic trails and party but without racing. Party Pace riders will NOT receive a race bib or be timed. This is strictly for those wanting to enjoy the course at a leisurely pace. If you want to ride at a leisurely pace but still have your time accounted for, you should sign up for your age category! Party Pace riders still have to finish by the 4:30 cut off time.
E-Bike Open – Class 1 Electric pedal assist only. No throttle bikes are permitted. There will be a riders agreement that everybody stays in Class 1 mode. This means no exceeding 20 miles an hour assist.
A Kids’ Fun Ride (not a race) will be taking place (add-on registration required). Other activities throughout the day include a pop-up obstacle course, track stand competition, mini-bike time trial, Huck-a-Huffy competition, bunny hop competition, and more! Free of charge!
Lula Lake Land Trust has officially taken over the 5 Points 50 race as a fundraiser for the organization. Roost Racing approached LLLT in 2023 about transfering the race and LLLT accepted as an attempt to keep this iconic race alive, as well as raise critical funds for our trail building and maintenance efforts!
All proceeds from the 5 Points 50/25 support Lula Lake Land Trust’s trail building and maintenance. Lula Lake has built over 60-miles of trail on our properties across Lookout Mountain, including the Moonshine trails, Cloudland Connector Trail, and the Durham Mine Trails. Your participation in this race (and all of Lula Lake’s races) goes directly back into our trail maintenance and construction efforts!
What’s Included?
