2023 Race Weekend Schedule
The official race weekend schedule has been published! Some things to note:
White Bear Lake is a D1 Team. That means we’re designated as Division One, so when you see two races for the same age/skill group, our time is the (D1) time.
This schedule is for all regular season races. For those who qualify to participate in State Finals at Mankato, the schedule will be different, and usually doesn’t come out until much closer to the State Finals.
WHITE BEAR LAKE RACES, 2023
August 26-27: Schindler’s Way, Austin (regular season)
September 16-17: Xcel Energy Mountain Bike Park, Shakopee (regular season)
September 23-24: Theo Wirth Regional Park, Minneapolis (regular season)
September 30-October 1: Gamehaven Scout Camp, Rochester (regular season)
October 14-15: Mt. Kato Ski Resort, Mankato (State Championship, qualification required)
