The Bear 6/3
August 17, 2024
The Bear 6/3!!! Don't let the name fool you! This one is definitely more "Teddy" than "Grizzly!" It's one of the fastest courses in the entire southeast! Flow? Yep! Berms? Check! Creek crossing? Bet!
This race course has a little of everything, but what it has the MOST of is speed AND fun!
This race will be race #1 of our 2024-2025 Southeastern Endurance Series! In 2023, our endurance season became a Fall-Spring series. This change will allow more continuity with a shorter break in between races, allow for a progression in race difficulty, AND hopefully create less scheduling conflicts with other MTB events. (We like racing too!)
NO DOGS ALLOWED AT WHITE COUNTY PARK!
