The Sasquatch Scrambler is a MTB race with a short enough course to make it a great first race in Pisgah National Forest, yet still good enough for any level of racer. Rolling over rugged mining roads, classic Pisgah singletrack, cursing climbs and giggling descents, this course will test your skills and desire as you explore the intoxicating terrain of the Pisgah National Forest. Good food and brew will be at the finish to comfort you after a great ride!
THIS RACE IS LIMITED BY THE US FOREST SERVICE TO 300 PARTICIPANTS.
