Sierra-Cascade Adventure Racing Sports presents The Quick and The Dead - Six Hour Endurance Mountain Bike Race. The race will be held at
Almaden Quicksilver County Park, located in South San Jose, near the town of New Almaden. Almaden Quicksilver provides spectacular natural
diversity and a landmark of California mining history. The 10 mile-course features multi-use, double track and wide-track trails that loop much of
the park. Trails will likely include the Randol Trail, Mine Hill and Castillero Trails. The course should provide an exciting mountain bike endurance
race location! Trail terrain may include sand, roots, rocks, packed dirt trail, and mud with some great climbs and descents.   

Sierra-Cascade Adventure Racing Sports provides scenic courses, well-stocked aid stations, clearly-marked trails and GPS-measured courses.
All participants will receive custom shirts and generous Racer bags. The overall top 3 male and female athletes will receive a
complimentary single event entry into their choice of races directed by Sierra-Cascade Adventure Racing Sports.  Following the
