The Paranormal is back for 2024!  Join us for another edition of this classic, Halloween-themed 6-hour endurance mountain bike race.

—-

Competitors have 6 hours to do as many laps of our outstanding 8+ mile singletrack loop as possible.  For team/duo categories, each group will have one participant out on course at a time.  It is up to the teams themselves to determine the order and number of laps each racer will do.   All categories will start together at 4pm.   Solo riders and teams can start a new lap anytime before the 10pm cutoff.  No new laps can begin after 10pm!!!

Racers who show up in costume will get a head start on the rest of the field.  The first few laps will be during daylight hours, but once the sun goes down lights will be required so be ready! The course itself is *not* illuminated.  You must have lights on your bike and/or your person. Free camping is available on site.  Food and drinks will be available for purchase during the race.

Same-day registration will be available, but will close 30 minutes prior to the start of the race.  Participants are strongly encouraged to pre-register.

The Paranormal is part of the Virginia Mountain Bike Series, the Commonwealth’s premier mountain bike race series.  More information can be found at https://runriderace.com/virginia-mountain-bike-series/  

This event is only possible thanks to the generosity of the Tevendale family, who are hosting us on their private land in Earlysville.  As such, all participants will be required to sign a liability waiver at registration, and we ask that all racers and spectators respect the property.
