We will try and get as many runs as possible each day. As you know from previous years, this event happens rain or shine.

We will be adopting the North America Downhill League (NADL) racing format. This will allow for more race runs against riders with similar skills. There will be 4 qualifying heats with the first heat based on your qualifying time. You will be awarded points depending on your finishing position, these points will determine your starting placement in the following heats.

After 4 qualifying heats, the top 12 qualifying riders will race in an elimination bracket to determine the winner. We will be running elimination brackets separately for Mens and Womens in standup, luge and inline (if there are enough participants).

RVOD! (Ryan Vanderveen or Die!) FREERIDE In honor of Ryan, a Maryhill Rat who left us way too early. We want to bring awareness to mental health issues. If you yourself or someone you know is suffering, please know you or them are not alone. Please do not be afraid to seek help however you can. You may know someone, maybe someone very close, who took their own life, and we would very much like to prevent that from happening again.

Our heartfelt thanks goes to The Maryhill Museum of Art and The Wolfe Family for all they do for us. We also want to thank our current sponsors, Johnson Gravity Racing, Woodinville CPA, Eastside Longboards, Skate School of Santa Fe, and all of you, our fellow Ratz for coming out and supporting this event.

Please contact the Ratz for sponsorship opportunities.
