Supported by their two-person dig crews, each athlete will spend days transforming Utah's rugged desert terrain into a completely unique competition line. From steep chutes and exposed ridgelines to massive drops and technical features, riders must balance creativity, style and execution on a course they help build themselves.
The athlete-built format remains one of Red Bull Rampage's defining characteristics, giving competitors an unmatched opportunity to showcase their vision while pushing the limits of what is possible in freeride mountain biking.

A new chapter in Women’s freeride progression

The women’s competition enters its third year at Red Bull Rampage, continuing a journey that began with Red Bull Formation in 2019. Created to support and accelerate the progression of women’s freeride mountain biking, Formation helped establish the pathway that led to women competing on freeride’s biggest stage.
Today, the depth of the Red Bull Rampage field reflects years of progression across the sport, with athletes consistently raising the bar through increasingly technical lines, larger features and more creative riding.

Celebrating 25 Years of Red Bull Rampage

This year marks a major milestone for Red Bull Rampage. Twenty-five years ago, riders first dropped into Utah's rugged desert landscape with little more than a vision and a willingness to redefine what mountain biking could be.
Since 2001, Red Bull Rampage has helped shape the sport's history, producing some of its most memorable moments and launching the careers of many of freeride's biggest names. The 2026 event represents the 20th edition of Red Bull Rampage and celebrates a quarter century of progression, creativity and innovation in big-mountain riding.
As the next generation of athletes continues to push boundaries, Red Bull Rampage remains the ultimate proving ground for freeride mountain biking.
