Pats Peak X-Country Challenge

USA Cycling X-Country State Championship Event.
Qualifier to USA Cycling MTB National Championships.

The X-Country is a competition held on a circuit course consisting of wooded trails, fields, unpaved roads, obstacles consisting of roots, rocks, streams, steep inclines and descents testing a racer strength and technical ability. The X-Country Challenge will use the same course as the 24.12.6 race. The only difference is that the timing and scoring tent will be in a different location.

The X-Country Challenge race consists of a certain number of laps to complete and the winner is the one that completes it in the quickest time. The number of laps is subject to change according to race day weather and course conditions. Final number of laps will be determined by the USAC official on race day.
