LaSport Mini Series MTB race 1 – Shreveport, LA 2026

LaSport Cycling club is bringing a 3 race mini series focused on getting beginners into MTB racing! Each race will be held at 1 North Adventure Trails in Blanchard. Generally, there will be 2-3 skill categories, Beginner, Interemediate, and Elite. The different categories will mostly be differentiated by skill/experience and distances. Race 1 May 9th, will be a simple track going around the lake. This would be a non-technical race to focus on the process and etiquette of MTB racing but in a live, full throttle experience of a real timed race. Race 2 June 13th, will be on one of the green loops to add a little bit of technical feel to the race while still being smooth enough trail and short enough distance that the racers can focus on the basics while still pushing their limits. We may have a unique twist to be announced on this race also. Race 3 July 25th, will be styled after a traditional XC style race utilizing more of the trail systems. Distances TBD. We want to gear this race seri
