The sixth annual Hilltop Grasshopper Kid’s Mountain Bike Race is on for Saturday, August 15. This is a specially prepared course for both new and experienced riders. Any bike with fatter tires is ideal and mechanics will inspect all bikes for safety and last minute race tuning.

A parent or guardian must be present to sign waiver and must be present during the race.
