A fun, fast pace, timed competition down a flowy black diamond trail. Racers will be placed in divisions by age and class and have two timed runs on the trail. The Flow Duro Challenge takes place on Gnome Wrecker + Gnome Wrecker Extension, winner will be the best of 2 laps. This trail is fast, flows well, and will keep you on your toes. There is a mix of traditional loam tread, mixed flowing contour, and steeper grades. Look for drops, roots, & steep fadeaways. ¾ mile trail, 378 ft. descent, average time is approx. 4:00 minutes.

We will have packet pick up and registration on Saturday, July 22nd from 12-12:45 PM for the Flow Duro Challenge. There will be a Pre-Ride of the course on Saturday @ 1 PM.
