This year’s competition promises to be more exciting than ever.
The Texas Team Challenge has awarded IMBA over $10,000 to date, making this a great way to add another dimension to the racing, plus donate to such a worthwhile organization.Get your roster together and sign up for what promises to be another action packed season of team racing. All mountain bike teams are invited to participate in the Texas Team Challenge, to be held in conjunction with the 2026 Texas XC Mountain Bike State Championship Series.
The Rules
Thanks to our generous sponsor, Pearland Bicycles, this year’s competition is free for everyone and we added Team Challenge Champion T-shirts to the mix. We have also streamlined the sign up process. So how do you sign up? Easy, just make sure all of your information is correct and matches the information you gave us when you purchased your plate. Make sure all of your team mates are using the SAME EXACT TEAM NAME. We will do the rest and turn on the team points after the second race of the season.
We recommend that you have at least five riders on your team, there is a 15 rider limit.
PLEASE NOTE: Your team and it’s members are solely responsible for 100% correct team names and proper race event registration!!!!! The name on the roster must EXACTLY match the names entered at registration and on your TMBRA profile . The most common reason for missed points is not using the exact same name or not using the same birth dates.
By participating you agree to the following “code of ethics“
1. Team managers will not “stack” their roster with riders who are not actually a part of the team. Adding racers who ride for another team that is not involved with the Texas Team Challenge is not allowed.
2. The Team Challenge team name MUST appear on the race results.
3. Team managers agree to encourage racers to move from Cat 3 to Cat 2 and Cat 2 to Cat 1 when they meet the mandatory upgrade requirements or when the rider’s ability obviously warrants the upgrade.
4. Team managers will not encourage “sandbagging” by asking a racer to stay down for points.Scoring
The top FIVE highest placing finishers for each team will determine the team’s total score for each race event. The best SIX out of EIGHT race events will count.
If you have less than five eligible racers to score, the empty spots will receive a score of “zero”. If you finish, but not within the top thirty racers in your class you will also receive a “zero”.Prizes and Expenses
TMBRA will provide a 10 x 4 ‘ banner for the winning team tent and Special edition Team Chjallenge Champion T-shirts. Any Extra money left at the end of the spring series will be donated to IMBA in the winning teams name
