The following is a brief description from the Jerdon Mountain Challenge Event promoter:
This is backcountry MTB racing at its finest with a shorter course and still all the amenities of a long distance endurance race. The Annual Jerdon Mountain Challenge will run on some of the same trails as the ever popular Off Road Assault on Mt Mitchell in Old Fort, North Carolina. Racers will tackle 3,600′ of climbing over 26 miles as you hit some great trails like Kitsuma, Star Gap and Jarrett Creek. Celebrate with a huge after party on the picturesque Gateway Museum grounds.
Please see the Jerdon Mountain Challenge Event website for more. This Event is a part of the Pisgah Triple Crown hosted by Blue Ridge Adventures. Search The Hub for “Blue Ridge Adventures” to see the triple crown and other events this promoter hosts.
