The Oregon XC Series, established in 2001 and managed by Mudslinger Events, is a premier cross-country mountain bike racing series in Oregon. The 2025 season features six diverse races, including the iconic Echo Red to Red in Echo, Oregon, and introduces the new Bonecrusher event in Central Oregon.

The series offers 34 divisions accommodating riders aged 9 to 70+, with multiple distance options to suit various ability levels. Participants accumulate points throughout the series, with the final race offering extra points to maintain competitive excitement. Series champions are awarded a custom Oregon XC Series Trucker Hat embroidered with “2025 Champion.”

One of the standout events is the Mudslinger XC, scheduled for April, 2025, in Blodgett, Oregon. Celebrating its 38th year, this classic race offers challenging terrain and has been a staple in the mountain biking community since 1987.

Another highlight is the Sisters Stampede, set for May, 2025, in Sisters, Oregon. As the largest XC mountain bike race in the Pacific Northwest, it features a unique horse lead-out for the Elite Men’s and Women’s waves and accommodates up to 500 riders. The course offers stunning views of the Three Sisters Mountains and rolling singletrack scattered with Central Oregon lava rock.

Events are collaboratively directed by Mudslinger Events, Zone 5 Promotions, and Newport Parks & Recreation, ensuring well-organized and varied race experiences. Accurate and timely results are provided by E8 Timing. Riders are encouraged to register early, stay self-sufficient during races, and keep up with weekly ranking updates.
