RACE DETAILS

White Lightning at The Land Between The Lakes is a classic MTB XC race in Kentucky. This long standing race has seen thousands of racers over the years and is an iconic trail that had remained a favorite through the test of time. This year, White Lightning is under the BGMC series, and we're more than excited to bring Western Kentucky some BGMC love. We will be running the show with a good amount of help from local volunteers that make the event possible. This race does count towards the overall series points. NO E BIKES ALLOWED. Like all of our races  it will be chip timed, fully marked, and a boatload of fun. Join us at the North Welcome Center on June 17th! Sign up online and save, and sign up early to help make the event better!

2023 MTB ROUTE

Check out the route! This is the same classic "Canal Loop" that many have known for decades. Come race to see what the buzz is about with this flowy singletrack that is full of lakeside views. Loop is beginner-intermediate with some climbing. 
Pros - 3 Laps
Open - 2 Laps
11-14/Party Lapper - 1 Lap


Youth MTB (10 & Under) Route

This will be a bit harder of a loop than most of our 10 & Under courses. This will be roughly 2 miles, and go down "D" and turn left onto the Canal Loop to come back to the start/finish line. PLEASE NOTE THE YOUTH START TIME. THEY WILL BE ON COURSE WHEN WE START THE PROS.
