Race Day XC: New England Championship

My name is John Day. Founder and event director for everything Race Day XC!


The north east is an amazing backdrop for XC MTB racing…. We have the mountains, we have the dirt, the forest cover and a dense population with thousands of passionate cyclists. What we don’t have is a consistent XC series or a unified cross country racing community. As a veteran promoter and a dedicated racer, that is a challenge that has intrigued me for years. I am proud and ready to accept that challenge. 


My goal is to provide New England with the greatest XCO race series in North America. A series for kids, families, amateurs, and pros. A local series, with a world class feel. Purpose built, next level tracks for all abilities, professional media coverage and an organized championship to match the effort our riders pour into this sport. In my opinion New England is a sleeping giant for mountain bike racing… and if done right, I believe in 10 years people will refer to New England as “ The Mecca of Mountain Bike Racing”.
