Race to the Barn – Wentworth Downhill Series 2026
The Race to the Barn returns for its 3rd season—our signature gravity-fed downhill race series at Wentworth Mountain Bike Park, delivered in partnership with Hub Cycle Truro and sanctioned by Cycling Nova Scotia.
Join us for three race days: July 4, August 8, and September 12. Each event features a different course, announced the morning of race day.
This is a fun, fast-paced series where it’s you against the clock. While competitive, the atmosphere stays relaxed and welcoming—perfect for riders looking to push themselves and have a great time doing it.
