Saturday morning is the start of all riding events including the 6, 12 and 24 hour mountain bike races. Don’t forget the kids’ races and events on Saturday. During the course of the weekend, Dirt Town will have plenty of food trucks providing food and beverages to the racers and visitors alike. For the spectators Dirt Town, Red Bud Road Crossing and Checkpoint Charlie are great locations to cheer on the racers. Saturday evening, listen to music while drinking beverages from local micro-brew, Red Eye Brewing Company.

The Wausau 24 weekend is More Than Miles, it’s an experience for everyone.

New in 2024!

Solo Champion

In 2023, Wausau 24 introduced the Solo Champion category. In 2024, there is no need to register for this as a separate category because all athletes competing in a 24 or 12 hour solo race will be eligible for the overall win! That’s right! Junior, Masters, Open and even Single-Speed solo categories in these races are eligible. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place male and female carry cash prizes (24 Hour 1st $500, 2nd $375, 3rd $250 and 12 Hour 1st $250, 2nd $175, 3rd $100). Overall winners will be removed from their original race categories. All racers will compete in the Le Mans start.

Masters

Masters age has changed. You must now be 50 or older on race day to be eligible to race in a Masters category.

Camping

2023 welcomed a record number of athletes to Nine Mile. We continue to highly encourage tent camping and carpooling. Camper vans and small teardrop-style and popup campers less than 20 feet are allowed to camp throughout Nine Mile as long as there is no use of a generator. Generators are still restricted to the Main Lot.

So, what’s new, you ask? There will only be a limited number of RVs and Campers longer than 20 feet allowed this year and these must register and park in the Main Lot.
