To preserve the quality of our events, we are limiting entrees for each race to 450 riders due to uplift and venue capacities.
Registration for each event will only be available online . There is NO ONSITE REGISTRATION. Race registration will close at 10pm on Tuesday night before the race. Riders will be emailed the mountain waiver before the race and asked to please print and bring to the race. Number plates / timing chips will be available for quick pickup at the event. We have a strict no refund policy.

All of our events are USA Cycling sanctioned. Riders must have a valid USA Cycling license to enter the race. One day licenses are available for riders without a USA Cycling license for $15 on their website.
Downhill Southeast has partnered with Zone 4 timing for all of our events. Racers will start at 30 second intervals with a short break between categories. Riders will start based on their seeding position (Pro / Cat 1) or series points standing (Cat 2 / 3). Start lists will be posted on the morning of each race. Live timing links will be posted for each event.
Standard Pricing:
$135 Cat 2/3
$155 Cat 1/ Pro
Late Registration:
$10 fee will be applied to all registrations within 2 weeks of the race date.
This pricing includes entry to the race and three days of lift tickets during the event. The price difference is due to the additional timed seeding run for Pro / Cat 1 riders.
Pro and Cat 1 racers have an optional seeding run on Saturday afternoon. The start order for the race will be built off the seeding results. Riders who do not take a seeding run will be added to the beginning of the start order for their category.
Each Downhill Southeast event will have two race courses (Pro / Cat 1 and Cat 2 / 3) Each category will race on their respective course. Some sections of the course will be shared.
Any registered female racer can bring a female friend to race for free. Anyone participating in the "Bring a Buddy System" must email info@downhillsoutheast.com to get a code to register. Buddys must be signed up prior to registration closing. The friend of the buddy must have never raced a DHSE event before. Our goal with the Bring a Buddy system is to get new women into racing! When emailing, please provide your confirmation code as well as the buddies name that will be entering. Both racers must have valid USAC license or purchase a one-day license.
The top three finishers in each category will be recognized on the podium following each race. All podium finishers will receive a medal / trophy as well as prizes / pro purse.
