Dam Zombies 2024 (Arcadia Lake)

The Dam Zombies are back at the Arcadia Lake Dam Trails!

Race as many laps as you can before the timer runs out - or before you turn into a zombie. The finisher with the most laps wins in each category (podiums for women, men and co-ed). Tied for laps? Winner will be the quickest time for their final full lap. Two-person team rules: Only one team member riding on the course at a time. Team members can ride for as many laps as they would like before passing the baton. The baton can only be passed at the lap finish line to transition to the other team member. Each team member must complete at least one lap to qualify as a team finisher.

ALL RACERS WILL RECEIVE A CUSTOM ENGRAVED FINISHER TROPHY!

This year the course is similar to 2023's with some variations to keep it fresh - the course is a moderate 6-mile flowy and fun, but not technically intimidating single track. We're confident it will turn a few of you into zombies by the end of the day. 

What's new for 2024...neutral refueling station midcourse sponsored by local bike shop Capital Co-Op. 6-hour 1st place podium payouts sponsored by Ethan Hulme, Thrivent Financial.

"I Survived Dam Zombie" tees will be for sale at the event for $20, cash or PayPal. ALL race and sales proceeds go back to Oklahoma Mountain Bike Association Arcadia Lake Dam Trails to build more trail and features.

There are 4 race options: 1) Solo 3-hour (1:00pm start time); 2) Solo 6-hour (10:00am start time); 3) Team (two-person) 6-hour (10:00am start time) - each team member must register; 4) E-bike Solo 3 Hour (1:00pm start time)

All racers can take breaks, rest, or do maintenance, but the clock keeps ticking. Racers may switch bikes during the race if desired or needed by moving their number plate to the other bike, but the racer and number plate must remain the same for the duration of the race. Finisher and 1-3 placement trophies, men's, women's, and co-ed - no age groups and must have at least a field of 5 deep (team or solo) for payout. 1st place Podium Pay Outs for 6-hour Solo and Team categories only.
