Are you up to the challenge?

An homage to the UK’s legendary 3 Peaks Cyclocross Race and Pennsylvania’s notorious Iron Cross, this will be a challenge of rider and machine on the unpaved roads that scale Beech Mountain and its North and South Ridges. Roads conditions range from  quality paved roads, to scraped gravel sections that would be comfortable on a road bike, to weathered jeep roads that will force many to walk. Unlike our namesake we are also offering a Mountain Bike Division in both the 75K and 35K races. Race starts and finishes at the Beech Mountain Visitors Center.

Three Peaks USA is a fundraiser for the Mountain Alliance, a community of individuals committed to providing Watauga County high school aged youth with opportunities to explore and develop their leadership potential through experiential learning. Students in the program will be working as course marshals and manning the aid station and start/finish, working hard to keep you safe, on track, and having fun.
