Starting in Downtown Anniston, riders will leave the start/finish area and will pedal into the northeast portion of the Coldwater Mountain trail system. A series of green trails will be used to access the crest of the mountain and then riders will blaze through a 10-mile section of passable singletrack (newly constructed) off of Oval Office to access the southwestern corner of the trail system.
Finishing up on the lower section of Bomb Dog, riders will then climb back up using a combination of singletrack and service roads to access the upper sections of Bomb Dog, before ultimately climbing Chilhowee to reach a new flyover construction.
Then it’s down Goldilocks and up Cassidy on their way to Talladega and Trillium. The second lap of the longer race distance is similar, but with a full loop of Oval Office, and the addition of the gravity trails (going down and up) before completing the second lap and dropping down a new singletrack connector to the City of Anniston and the finish!
- Dedicated neutral bag drop area at the start/finish.
- Bags can be left at this location and accessed at the aid station.
