A few good Illinois resources for mountain bike racing (and where to go mountain biking in general) are the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers, Peoria Area Mountain Bikers Association, and Rockford Area Mountain Bike Alliance. Our friends to the north also put on a fantastic series, the Wisconsin Off-Road Series.
In 2025, WORS hosted Border Battle which was the Mountain Bike Illinois 2025 State Championship. We are hoping recreate this event for 2026!
