This year, Mars Hill Cross joins Mud, Sweat, and Gears, the biggest cyclocross series in Tennessee. Yes, we’ve been usurped by a foreign power, and we love it. To welcome our northern neighbors, we’ll give away $1,000 in cash, Industry Nine goblets, prizes from the best bike shops in WNC, and free swag. Food and drink will be aplenty. We’ll have equal payouts for elite men and women, of course. Who doesn’t? But the feature event will always be the kids race.
