Organiser's description
**Registration from the Mullet cancellation earlier this year automatically rollover**
Business in the front. Party in the back. The Mullet Classic is a two-member team relay race where one racer handles the uphill "business," the other racer the downhill "party." Stick around post race for our Season Sender end of season party!
New for 2025: two separate race divisions and podiums to better accommodate racer skill levels. Racers seeking an intermediate-level of challenge should register for the RAT TAIL division where the climbing route follows the new Izzy Up multi-use trail and the descending route uses the Hello Kitty flow trail. Advanced riders will enjoy the MONTANA WATERFALL, using the traditional Mullet Classic routes of the Msla XC ascent and the Bjorn Again descent.

The race begins with a Le Mans start in the base area. "Business riders" run to their bikes and ascend the course. They may encounter some limited descending and technical challenges, but let there be no mistake -- this stage is for the legs and the lungs. Then, the "Party rider" completes the descending segment.
