After the success of the inaugural event in 2011, we present the 2nd annual Steamboat Stinger! This time with a bigger field and another day of added fun and suffering! After originally drawing inspiration from races such as the Firecracker 50, Gunnison Growler and Laramie Enduro, the Steamboat Stinger aims to provide a challenging backcountry race experience showcasing some of Steamboat Springs' finest singletrack.

Never shy of a challenge, we figured, why stop with just a mountain bike race? So for 2012 we will also feature a full and half trail marathon as well. These two events can be separate, or if you wish to take the ultimate challenge, you can participate in both events - the 50 mile solo mountain bike race, and then the 26.2 trail marathon the next day - to be crowned King Sting or Queen Bee of the Steamboat Stinger – this is not a category requiring registration but we will track with our timing partner.

These events are true to Steamboat Springs' tradition: epic fun with the added bit of western flair. Giddy up!
