RACE DETAILS
West Point, Kentucky sits on the Ohio River just south of Louisville, and north of Ft. Knox. It is likely to see a Black Hawk, Chinook, or other military aircraft flying overhead during the weekend while out on training drills. The Ft. Duffield trails are known as a classic to many KY and IN MTB riders as it's been the host of Freeride features, Downhill races, and more modernly, the Enduro spot local to Louisville. We're excited as this race will bring new school flow mixed with old school technical, and narrow racing. The runs are short, the climb is paved, and the times will be tight! Don't miss out!
ALL THE INFO YOU NEED IS IN THE DIGITAL RACE PACKET.
NO YOUTH
NO YOUTH event for Ft. Duffield. The trails are a steep, rocky, and don't connect in a way that we can create a youth loop and keep things safe. If you have an older youth rider (8-10 years old) that wants to race with the 11-14 it is allowed, parents are also allowed to ride with in that category. This route does have some punchy climbs and technical sections. A pre-ride is suggested for younger or less skilled riders.

- You can skip any stage (in Enduro) you're not comfortable with
- You get all the benefits that racers get, minus a podium spot.
This is the perfect category for Jr's not ready for all enduro stages, or new racers who are still growing their skills. There is no shame in this category and opens the door for relaxed and fun involvement in the event. If you have questions, reach out!

CAMPING
We are camping in the same location as last year, at the SALT RIVER BOAT RAMP! This is not a "Campground", but we can use it to camp for this event. Please be respectful, prepared, and know that this is a very primitive setup. We will have some portojohns there. Please carry out all of your trash. The water levels are high, so please be cautious. It is a decent ride yet flat and east to race HQ. Please, give a donation to the park if you camp. We can collect at registration.
ACCOMMODATIONS
The closer hotels will be in Radcliff, Ft. Knox, and Sheperdsville
