Organiser's description
Business in the front. Party in the back. The Mullet Classic is a two-rider team race where one racer handles the uphill "business," the other racer the downhill "party." Stick around after the race for the Missoula mountain biking party of the summer!
EVENT SCHEDULE
* 3:45 - 5:30 PM: Racer check-in
* 5 Little's Mullet (Base Area. Free, un-timed)

* 6 Adult Bjorn Again Categories
* 8 After party
RACE FEE
$30 for MTB Missoula members, $40 per non-member
REGISTRATION & FORMAT
* Form a two-racer team from the following categories:
- Mens Team
- Womens Team
- Co-ed Team
- Junior/Senior Team (any pairing of a junior and adult racer)
- Junior Mens Team (Under 18)
- Junior Womens Team (Under 18)
* Register, pay entry fee, and either create a new team or join an existing team. _Registration closes at 3 PM on race day; on-site registration will not be available._
* Teammates can register separately and select an existing team from the drop down menu. Alternatively, one team member could register both racers at the same time.
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, their choice of either Hello Kitty (blue) or Bjorn Again (black).
SAFETY WARNING: Bjorn Again is a black diamond rated downhill trail. Please use extreme caution. Highly advised that riders younger than 12 race Hello Kitty, not Bjorn Again. Beginning to intermediate descenders will not be allowed on Bjorn Again. Descenders must choose their trail at racer check-in.
