Team Pit Row at Fort Ord 50 ⛺️🔥
Bring the squad, plant the tent, and own the vibe. On Saturday, Sept 13 at Fort Ord National Monument (Monterey), pit row lines the action so your team has a front-row basecamp while riders tackle 25 / 50 / 75-mile solo or the 50-mile DUO.
Why reserve a team space?
- Prime atmosphere: Front-row cheering, easy meet-ups, and a home base all day long.
- Performance boost: Organized gear, bottles, and support for your solo or DUO riders.
- Team presence: Banners, flags, and photo-worthy moments for your club/shop/school.
- Community energy: Turn Fort Ord into your team’s festival—music, cowbells, and smiles.
Who it’s for?
Clubs, shops, school & devo squads, friend crews—any team that wants a visible, dialed setup on race day.

RACE DETAILS AND CLASSEs
About the Fort Ord Race Venue
Fort Ord is legendary for its ultra-fast trails. This is where you will lay down some serious speed without running into a lot of technical features. Average speeds can exceed 18 MPH for top finishers depending on the course. On that note - Fort Ord features nearly limitless course variation. Additional lap length will be achieved by adding trails owned by the Bureau of Land Management. The Fort Ord 50 will take advantage of trails and features to create a 12.5 mile course with sections that will be new to many riders in a race format (unless you did Fuego XL). We don't mind putting the extra work into course design!
Monterey Off Road Cycling Association (MORCA)
The Fort Ord 50 has partnered with MORCA on the Fort Ord race.

MORCA is an organized voice for responsible mountain biking in Monterey County. We accomplish this by advocating for mountain bike trail access, maintaining area trails, and sharing good will with other trail users. We are involved in mountain biking advocacy at all levels of the community.
The Course
We are planning to use the same, or very similar course for 2025.
The course will use a large range of Fort Ord and BLM trails to achieve the best and most interesting route.
The course is 80% singletrack, with some doubletrack, fire road and a few short sections of paved road (needed to access BLM trails).
Lap distance ~ 12.5 miles
Route elevation ~ 1,450 ft
