RACE DETAILS

Hazard, Kentucky is home to the Benny Goat Trails, formerly known as Perry County Park Trails. These well build trails give us a 5 mile loop that starts with a climb and has a good mix of single and double track sections will challenge riders but also reward them with amazing trails that are arguably some of the best in the state! This route is the closest XCO (World Cup style) comparable route that we have in the Bluegrass Cup Series. With go arounds, awesome features, and more this race is a can't miss event.

Youth MTB (10 & Under) Route Notes

Riders can do laps for 20 mins. This route is super short and mostly grass. The riders will be in view nearly the whole loop. They will climb a grassy hill and make their way back down to complete a lap. This is a VERY simple course. Sadly, the clim out of the race venue is the only way to get to better trails and it is for the most part too difficult for the 10 & Under.  We are trying to cut the hill climb in half for them this year. There are some bumps and bits and a bit of gravel, but will have lots of cheers in place of single track. Parents are allowed to ride with them as long as they sign a waiver! 

ACCOMMODATIONS

The horse ring (north side of park) is where the race HQ will be. Head that way and you will find the start/finish. Parking is below at the extension office. There will be signs on how to walk/ride up to race HQ. There is a campground in the parking area of the horse ring (we used this as parking last year). Please be aware that there is NO PARKING in that lot this year.

CAMPING

We are working with the park to determine what will be doable. With the recent flooding, many victims are currently living in RV's in the campground. Stay tuned.
