“The LRE is a community event, and it's one of the best parts of the event. Each year, local businesses come forward to support the event, many of them from the start of the event in 2022, continuing every year since. The event simply wouldn’t happen without them. The local MTB Association, the West Coast Cycling Association (WCCA), and trail builders work hard all summer leading up to the event to get the trails in top shape while also expanding the local network more and more each summer. If there is one saying that stands out for the LRE, it is the classic “It takes a village,” and this village is made up of the small but extremely dedicated group of volunteers from WCCA, LRE, the trail builders, race organizers, volunteers, and community sponsors.”
