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!
The Fort Ord 50 has partnered with MORCA on the Fort Ord race.
Please consider making a donation to MORCA at registration.
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.
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
We are pleased to announce that CCCX MTB and NorCal Crusher Cup races will be sanctioned by USA Cycling in 2025.
As the governing body of cycling in America, USAC works hard to develop the sport from juniors to Olympians. This partnership will strengthen Northern California cycling and create a more direct pathway from our region to national events. These USAC races provide an opportunity to earn national ranking points and qualify for national championship races, which is especially important for our juniors.
This move will also align our races with the Northern California Nevada Cycling Association. The NCNCA has long been active in promoting road racing in our region; now they will work with us to include XC racing and sanction a 2025 District Championship XC race.
The insurance coverage provided by USAC is a significant benefit to all licensed racers. Not only does it bolster our event coverage, it also provides each racer with personal supplemental insurance while racing.
Athletes will be required to provide a valid USAC license number.
About 30% of our participants already carry an annual license. We were able to get a deep discount for first-time annual licenses.
USAC Pricing (subject to change):
Basic Annual Renewal - $129
First-time annual license - $50 (use Code INTROMEMB25)
U18 license - $40
Day license: Adult - Novice $15 / U18 $15 / Adult $35
