Vail Lake Resort will welcome elite and amateur mountain bikers to Vailocity Bike Park for the 2026 Orange Seal Pro Cup presented by Vailocity, running April 10–12, 2026. The Temecula weekend is a featured stop on the USXC Open Series, bringing UCI short track and Olympic-style cross-country racing to one of Southern California’s most dynamic purpose-built venues.
“The 2026 Orange Seal Pro Cup presented by Vailocity is one of the five stops on the USXC Open Series cross-country mountain bike series,” said Ty Kady, Director and Promoter of Orange Seal Pro Cup. “This purpose-built Olympic style mountain bike course is quickly becoming a rider favorite on the circuit, with its jumps and technical features. The Orange Seal Pro Cup draws competitors from over 42 states and 9 countries, truly making it an international level event right here in Southern California.”
The Temecula course has become known for its modern race flavor—fast sections and sustained climbs matched with technical features and jumps that mirror what riders increasingly see on the global circuit.
“The course for the Orange Seal Pro Cup was a perfect test for me prior heading into the Brazil World Cup season opener in 2025,” said Christopher Blevins, U.S. Olympian and World Cup winner. “This course is fast with sustained climbs, but also has a lot of new school features and jumps that are becoming more and more popular on the World Cup circuit. It’s a great way for me to test my fitness and equipment before heading over to Europe.”
A world-class venue built for racing—and the full weekend experience
Located in Temecula Valley, Vailocity Bike Park at Vail Lake Resort features 45+ miles of trails spanning flowing singletrack, jump lines, technical climbs, and fast descents—terrain that supports everything from elite race intensity to first-time rider progression.
