Sunday is the last Challenge Cup race of the season. The locals need a minor miracle to get enough riders to get the 104 points needed to keep Grande Prairie from winning the Challenge Cup for the first time in recent memory. The Blizzards need every rider they can muster! Race time for this important mountain bike race is 2 pm at Beatton Park.
