Crest DH Urban Race

Crest DH Urban Race, set to take place on September 6, 2026, is an exhilarating downhill mountain bike and fat tire bike race that seamlessly blends urban terrain with singletrack trails. Nestled within the medieval heart of Crest, a charming town in the Drôme region, this event offers participants a unique challenge as they descend from the heights of the city through winding streets and historic cobblestones.
The course is dotted with wooden modules designed to test riders' skills on both technical descents and urban obstacles. Racers will face steep climbs leading into fast-paced descends through narrow alleys and around ancient buildings, providing an adrenaline-packed experience that highlights Crest's rich architectural heritage while pushing competitors to their limits.
With only 70 spots available for this year’s race, every participant must aim for top performance as the fastest 20 riders will qualify for a final run-off. This high-stakes competition promises not just thrilling action but also an intimate connection with one of France's most picturesque towns, making Crest DH Urban Race a can't-miss event for cycling enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
Join us in September to witness the eighth edition of this spectacular race that combines athletic prowess with cultural immersion.
