DirtFund

The DirtFund provides year-round support of mountain bike athlete development in the junior and U23 categories, for men and women. We believe mountain biking is a critical entry point into bike racing for many young riders, and a key discipline for growing competitive cycling in the USA. The DirtFund cultivates grassroots development and race efforts around the nation, providing opportunities for young athletes and opening the development pathway to elite level competition. From local and regional development camps, to National Development Camp and National Team racing at select International races and World Cups, the DirtFund provides support and structure along the entire pathway. All gifts to the DirtFund are restricted solely to mountain bike program support.

"Getting a chance to race the Team Relay World Champs with Kate, Haley, Keegan, and Chris was a once in a lifetime experience. Being able to represent my country and my sport with some of the greatest athletes in the world is a dream come true that will stick with me for the rest of my life."

"The feeling of zipping up the USA Cycling National Team Jersey is truly indescribable. That simple jersey holds the power to be life changing. The desire to represent the USA on the World Stage is so much more than a dream, it's something that I think of and dedicate myself to every day. That jersey, that dedication, that desire unites us all."
