July 30, 2010
USA Cycling announced on July 9, 2010, that Bend, Ore., will host the 2011 and 2012 Marathon Mountain Bike National Championships.
The annual event, which crowns 24 national champions, has been held in conjunction with the Firecracker 50 in Breckenridge, Colo., for the past four years. Its move to Bend will mark the seventh and eighth USA Cycling National Championship event held in the cycling-friendly city in a four-year period.
In December, the city will play host to Cyclocross Nationals for a second consecutive year. Then the 2011 and 2012 editions of the USA Cycling Masters Road National Championships will also take place in Bend.
With breathtaking beauty and a festival-like atmosphere as the backdrop, the Mountain Bike National Championships will start and end in Bend’s historic Old Mill District.
