challenge
Uwharrie MTB Challenge (UMBC) will be held in Uwharrie National Forest at the Badin Lake Recreation Area (Sunday) just outside of Troy, North Carolina.
​
We're excited to bring this new event to the Trans-Sylvania Production nation. This race is inspired by our 5-day stage race, Trans-Sylvania MTB Epic. There's nothing better than a weekend of riding/racing and spending time with fellow shredders.
