The Hickory Short Track Mountain Bike races are held at Hickory City Park on the Lake Hickory Mountain Bike Trails. The race courses are a combination of single-track trails and a few sections of paved Greenway. The registration and race start are located up the greenway from the parking area.

There are two courses used for the event. The short course is 1.33 miles long and used by Beginner, Junior, and First-time racers competing at 9:30 AM and 10:10 AM. Racers will typically complete 3-4 laps based on race pace. This loop is marked as the Springs Loop. The long course is 1.66 miles and is used by the Expert and Sport racers competing at 11:15 AM and 12:10 PM. Racers will typically complete 4-5 laps based on race pace. This loop combines parts of the Springs loop and then switches to the lake side of the Greenway.
