Pisgah Triple Crown

We are adding the Harbison MTB Challenge into the Blue Ridge Adventures Pisgah Triple Crown Series.  Yes, we know, Harbison is not Pisgah, and five races is not a triple crown any longer.  However, we're wanting to add more races into the series to allow for more series participation.  With the addition of HMBC, the series will be best three of five races.  Race all five and throw out your low two scores or you can miss one or two races and still qualify for series awards.​​

Hard Core Series

  • Uwharrie MTB Challenge - Long Course

  • Woods Mountain

  • Off-Road Assault On Mt. Mitchell (ORAMM)

  • Harbison MTB Challenge - Long Course

  • Swank 65

​​

Casual Racer Series

  • Uwharrie MTB Challenge - Short Course

  • Sasquatch Scrambler

  • Jerdon Mountain Challenge

  • Harbison MTB Challenge - Short Course
