In our 8th year, Poca Go! is an enduro-style mountain bike (MTB) stage race fundraiser held on the Swift Creek single-track flow trails at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield, Virginia. All proceeds go to supporting the MTB trails in the park. The fundraiser brings together riders from around the region for a fun day of riding and comradery. A racer is solo on each timed stage, not side-by-side with another racer. It’s just you, the trail, and the clock. Plus, the race trails have been awarded bronze-level recognition by the International Mountain Bike Association.
Who can race?
We have levels from beginner to expert and age groups ranging from middle school kids to adult. For riders younger than middle school, Poca Go! Kids is for ages 2-10. See the Poca Go! Kids page for more information.
Registration, Support, and Awards
Race registration includes free entrance to Pocahontas State Park. The registration price varies depending on the racer’s category. Also closer to race day, the price increases.
The race is well-supported with course marshals, medics on-site, hydration stations, bike maintenance stations, and bathrooms. Every registered racer receives a swag bag, plus there are awards for the top finishers in each category.
Poca Go!’s mission is to bring the riding community together in friendly competition and encourage mountain biking to new and novice riders while raising funds to support the MTB trails at Pocahontas State Park.
The Poca Go! Kids will be also be held on October 3. This race gives 2-10 year olds a chance to explore their interest in MTBing and their competitive spirit. See the Poca Go! Kids page for more information.
