This year, we are providing a fundraising opportunity as part of our race registration process that enables racers to earn their entry fees back, as well as play a pivotal role in a bigger mission to ensure longterm economic prosperity in the Lost Sierra region. Racers who choose to fundraise will be rallying their networks for donations for Connected Communities, the cornerstone project of the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, the nonprofit organizer of the Downieville Classic and Lost & Found Gravel races. The goal? Raise at least double your entry fees, and you'll get your fees back (minus a BikeReg surcharge).
