NEW Aug 6 . . . Note from Jarrett Smith
-
I was thinking about it over the weekend and wanted to let you know that Black Bear 40k (single loop) course is clear for the race this weekend. In case you wanted get the word out. I feel lot of racers might think that after the storms in July that many courses might be more like obstacle courses instead of XC courses and decide to stay home. I think we put in some 200 hours to clear this disaster area.
Registration begins at 9:00 am
Race Start 11:00 am for Experts and 12 noon for Sport and Beginner.
Hosted by Kanawha State Forest.
