Quick n’ Dirty Sagebrush Safari XC MTB & E-MTB 2027

About this event

Quick n’ Dirty’s two-day 2027 Sagebrush Safari brings cross-country MTB, Class 1 and Class 3 e-MTB, gravel, youth racing, camping and a Saturday community FUNDO to the Lake Morena / Corral Canyon backcountry near Campo. The Saturday FUNDO starts at 4:30 PM and costs $25 with spaghetti dinner included; dinner is called for 6:00 PM. Sunday check-in and on-site registration run 7:30–9:15 AM, followed by the 40-mile gravel wave at 9:20, the 23-mile e-MTB and 31-mile MTB wave at 9:30, the 23-mile MTB wave at 9:35 and a 1–3-mile kids race around 9:50. Podiums follow as racers finish. The long XC route is approximately 31 miles of singletrack, slabs, rock gardens, fire roads, climbs and descents; the shorter 23-mile course serves youth, true beginners and e-MTB. The gravel route is published as 40 miles with about 5,000 feet of climbing. The official page advertises online entry through race day, on-site entry for an added fee and an online cutoff 15 minutes before racing, but the exact RunSignup checkout currently says registration is unavailable. Registration is therefore not yet open, not closed or sold out. Adult/youth XC and e-MTB prices remain TBD; kids entry is $20 online or $25 on-site. Dry camping is advertised from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening at $30 for one night or $40 for two, with no individual campfires and pack-in/pack-out rules. The event is nonrefundable. Riders must wear helmets, may not use headphones, must follow marked routes and should expect public-road and two-way multi-use trail traffic including motorcycles, quads, UTVs and full-size vehicles. This is an LA-regional exception roughly 145 road miles southeast of central Los Angeles: the Cleveland National Forest permit, rugged purpose-built backcountry courses, e-MTB field, camping and full youth-to-expert program offer mountain-bike event value unavailable in the urban core. The organizer’s address is a navigation reference rather than the exact start: stop at event signage across from Camp Morena before reaching 28880 Corral Canyon Trail.
