NEW FOR TUCK FEST 2024, WHITEWATER IS RAISING THE STAKES WITH THREE MARQUEE COMPETITIONS. THESE ATHLETES WILL COMPETE FOR A TOTAL OF $35,000 IN CASH PURSES ACROSS THE ALL-NEW DIRTY CRIT, DEEP WATER SOLO, AND BOATERCROSS.

DIRTY CRIT

FRIDAY, APRIL 19 | 5 PM

This spin on the classic criterium bike race takes racers through the drained upper pond, on the gravel path around the Center, and into the woods on singletrack. Because of this course’s variety of terrain and special features, the challenge begins before racers even reach the starting line as they carefully decide which style of bike will race best.

This is an invite-only event with a wildcard application open to the general public. Athletes will compete for a $15,000 cash purse across Men’s and Women’s divisions. A seeding round will take place Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

The first one to the top wins. Two climbers at a time race head-to-head to the top of the 45-foot Deep Water Solo wall, and the winner from each matchup moves on to the next round in this single elimination bracket.

This is an invite-only event with a wildcard application open to the general public. Athletes will compete for a $15,000 cash purse across Men’s and Women’s divisions. A seeding round will take place Friday at 3 p.m.
