Course Summary
Jangover is the final race in the Insomniac Night Trail Ride Series. All races will be held on the same 15.5 mile loop and repeated as many times as you'd like in your respective race.

The loop is comprised of the entire Pemberton Trail which features a mix of wider rolling desert terrain, some more narrow and rocky single track and a short section of sandy wash.

The Juniors Loop will start and finish on the Pemberton Trail as well. Their loop will turn right onto Granite Tank Trail. GT leads to Delsie and to the Granite Tank Aid Station where they will rejoin Pemberton for the fun ride back to the start/finish line.

Riders will experience a variety of conditions and challenges while looping under the night stars.

Trail Etiquette
Remember to always remain on designed trails, no short cutting.
Headphones are not permitted.
E Bikes are not permitted.

This course includes some legit single track. If you are fast and attempting to pass, please alert the rider in front of you before flying past them. Likewise, if you hear a rider approaching you from behind, attempt to find a spot to allow the pass.

As a general rule, when passing a rider, announce, “on your left.” Remain in control and respect the other participants.
Everyone is after the same goal here so let’s be respectful of each other’s races and have fun.

Pets
For the safety of all riders, no pets are allowed on-course at the night races. Any pets at the race must be on a leash at all times, respect park rules, and be supervised.
