Map

Where is it?

The Lake Placid Olympic Region is in the upper reaches of New York state, 285 miles north of downtown Manhattan and close to the Canadian border. Although famous for its winter sports and the setting for two Winter Olympics, the area’s summer offering is growing and is centred around the off-road trails of Mt Van Hoevenberg and Whiteface Mountain.

Location: DHI - 5021 NY-86, Wilmington, NY 12997 | XC - 31 Van Hoevenberg Way, Lake Placid, NY 12946

What happened last time?

Valentina Höll (YT Mob) rose to the occasion to win her first UCI Downhill World Cup of the season and with it the Overall Title at Lake Placid Olympic Region, New York (USA). Meanwhile, Luke Meier-Smith (Giant Factory Off-Road Team DH) took an emotional first Elite Men’s UCI Downhill World Cup victory of his career. Read the full article here.

Rissveds continues her amazing form in the format, clinching her third consecutive UCI XCC World Cup in a row. The UCI XCO World Champion battled with series leader Evie Richards (Trek Factory Racing-Pirelli) and UCI XCC World Champion Alessandra Keller (Thömus Maxon) throughout, but showed that she had the edge with an attack from range on the last lap.

What’s the course like?

The Cross-country course at Mt. Van Hoevenberg burg takes its inspiration from its bobsled heritage, with huge berms and the lake-side section offering distinctive features. Fans love the jump section and the long multiline descent through the woods.

Over at Whiteface Mountain, the Downhill course made its debut in 2025. Wide and technical at the top, it offers plenty of line choice before dropping in over the waterfall feature to a high-speed bike park section, where there is time to be found.
