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!
