Pisgah Triple Crown

The Harbison MTB Challenge will now be part of our sister companies, Pisgah Triple Crown. Yes, we realize that Harbison is not Pisgah, and five races does not make the Triple Crown name make sense. However, adding this race will allow us to make the series best 3 of 5 events and more opportunity for series participation. So, if you race all five events, then you can drop your lowest two scores. Or maybe you can only make 3 of the 5 events and now you can still qualify for our series awards.

• Harbison MTB Challenge - Long Course: is part of the Pisgah Triple Crown Hard Core Series.
• Harbison MTB Challenge - Short Course: is part of the Pisgah Triple Crown Casual Racer Series.
