The 9th Annual Burn 24 Hour Challenge presented by Bikerumor.com went off perfectly on May 23 & 24, 2009 on the Dark Mountain Trail System in Wilkesboro, NC. This marks the 6th consecutive year the Brushy Mountain Cyclists Club has hosted the event. With 351 racers, we had a great crowd and some intense racing action. The men's team open class brought the heat, pushing lap counts ever higher and turning in some sick fast times. A little shower now and then kept things cool and the trail tacky and fast! Thanks to everyone that came out, and we look forward to seeing you all next year!
About the BURN 24 Hour. Started by Tyler Benedict in 2000 in Winston Salem, the event moved to Walnut Cove, NC, before settling at the Dark Mountain Trails in Wilkesboro NC in year four...where it's gonna stay thanks to the world-class trails built by the BMCC. Speaking of the BMCC, they've now officially taken over the event, using it as a showcase for the trails and a fundraiser for the club. As one of the longest continuously running endurance events in the Southeast, they've made it a race for everyone. Whether you’re super fit and want to crush sub 35-minute laps or you just want to test yourself and your personal fitness, or even just ride all night with your friends, we’ve got you covered with the following race classes:
- Solo Female
- Solo Male
- Duo Female
- Duo Male
- Duo Coed
- 3 – 5 Person Team, Male
- 3 – 5 Person Team, Female
- 3 – 5 Person Team, Coed
The field is capped at 400 racers to ensure a quality experience for everyone, so register early to guarantee your spot and save some coin with early bird savings! Held annually on Memorial Day Weekend, the BURN 24 Hour goes on rain or shine, and the race director reserves the right to combine classes if there are less than four teams registered in any category.
