Tour de Dirt Kids Kup - McMurtry Returns Race Information

<h4>The Tour de Dirt Kids Kup is heading back to Lake McMurtry, for race 5 of the Tour de Dirt Kids Kup series - and we couldn’t be more excited to return to this classic Stillwater trail system! After years away, “McMurtry Returns” brings young riders back to the flowing singletrack, wide‑open lakeside views, and friendly terrain that made this venue a longtime favorite. It’s the perfect mix of nostalgia for returning families and fresh adventure for first‑time racers.</h4> <h4><strong>About Tour de Dirt</strong><br />Tour de Dirt is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit mountain bike race series celebrating Dirt.
