Course

The course is ready for pre-riding. It's extremely well marked and the Roane County Fire and Rescue Squad will have personnel stationed at numerous points around the lake. Still, it is your responsibility to know the race course. We will not be closing off trails at crucial intersections, so you need to know which way to go! Also note that the distances are a bit longer than 15K and 30K.

Note: The beginner class is for NOVICE riders. If you are a stronger rider, please use the sport classes - step up to the challenge and ride the 2 lap race.
