In its second year, the Fox Trot 40 will fully encompass what it means to Ride Sun Valley. The point-to-point course will weave through 40 miles of trails in the Sawtooth National Recreational Area. Dramatic vistas will accompany burning legs and lungs as racers pedal some of Sun Valley’s top backcountry mountain bike trails. The race will be followed by the Finish Party at the Ride Sun Valley Expo Area in downtown Ketchum. The party will include live music, catering, a great raffle and awards.
