Miss out on the registration window? No worries! We have a few more options to get you to the start line on race day.
Volunteer: Volunteer 10+ hours at 2024’s Life Time Big Sugar Classic to earn priority registration for 2025’s events!
Sweet Tooth Challenge
How far can you ride before you hit a sugar high? Make the end of your cycling season extra sweet and join us for both the MTB and Gravel events!
Sweet Tooth Challenge: 100K MTB and 100-mile Gravel
Semi-Sweet Tooth Challenge: 50K MTB and 50-mile gravel

Individuals will be scored within each event but a cumulative score will not be kept. Finishers will receive a bonus prize!
