In 2025, this race will take place in Taylorsville, North Carolina, with tough mountain terrain and extreme obstacles that will challenge riders. As Premier Round 5 and East Round 1, it’s one of the first major races of the season for riders in the East. Rocky trails, steep hills, and difficult weather will test the riders’ skills. Before the 2025 event, it’s a great chance to look back at the challenges from 2024! We’re sharing a video from last year’s event so you can see how riders tackled these tough obstacles. The difficulties from 2024 will inspire and guide the 2025 race.
