Post–race athlete food from the local legendary Big Foot BBQwill be available for sale. The awards ceremony will take place Saturday afternoon, beverages provided by Local Favorite Wanderlust Brewing Company. 100% of proceeds benefit local trails leader Flagstaff Biking Organization whose leadership in trail construction and maintenance efforts has resulted in numerous partnerships and collaborations between mountain bikers and other trail users leading to more, and better maintained, trails.
