Nestled in Prescott, Arizona, the Whiskey Off-Road kicks off on the historic Whiskey Row, blending the area’s Wild West heritage with modern mountain biking culture. Over three days, riders are immersed in an atmosphere buzzing with fellow biking enthusiasts, all set against the stunning backdrop of Prescott National Forest.

Produced by Epic Rides, the event presents three distinct course options across challenging and varied terrain. Riders traverse singletrack, doubletrack, gravel roads, and occasional paved segments, with the event maintaining an impressive 94% finish rate.

The 50 Proof Course challenges experienced riders with nearly 50 miles and 6,523 feet of elevation gain, starting Saturday at 8:00 am. The 25 Proof covers 25.8 miles with 2,814 feet of climbing, departing at 9:15 am. For newcomers, the 15 Proof Fun Ride offers 19.6 miles and 1,980 feet of elevation on Friday afternoon.

Aid stations are strategically placed every 1 to 1.5 hours of riding effort, stocked with Hammer Nutrition products, snacks, and hydration essentials. Support crews can provide hand-ups at designated locations. Cutoff times are enforced at 1:20 pm at White Rock Trailhead Parking Lot for both Saturday courses.

Beyond the racing, the event celebrates mountain biking culture with a community concert and beer garden featuring local breweries. Professional riders compete for a $30,000 cash purse split equally between male and female categories. Top finishers receive custom Whiskey Off-Road flasks, stainless steel water bottles, and sponsor products, adding prestige to the competitive atmosphere.
