Boggs 8-Hour Raise the Pines Bike Race

Boggs 8-Hour is a mountain bike relay race that takes place annually in Boggs Demonstration State Forest near the small mountain town of Cobb, California.

The race started in 2006, and has steadily grown. It is one of the very few endurance relay mountain bike races alive and well today. You can race 8+ hours by yourself, or join in as a relay team of 2 or 3 people.

We encourage camping, and that you make an entire weekend out of it. It usually rains or snows on us in some capacity, even in May for some inexplicable reason. Somehow, this makes it special, memorable, and reminiscent of that very first year when flurries marked the start of our race.
