Mt. Borah Annouces Epic MTB Race; All Profits to CAMBA

The first annual Mt. Borah Epic (MTB Race) will take place during the CAMBA Festival of Trails hosted in Hayward, WI, the weekend of June 8-9, 2013.  CAMBA, short for Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association, has developed miles of pristine, smooth single track that the Epic route will pay tribute to during the 30-mile point-to-point race.  100 percent of race profits will go back to CAMBA, benefiting the continuous growth and development of a trail system that leaves riders grinning from ear to ear upon completion.

Racers will start at Telemark Resort, located near Cable, then ride south towards Hayward, finishing 30 miles down the trail at Hatchery Creek Park, just outside of town.  Along the route, riders will traverse everything from fast, rolling single track, to twisting, challenging trail sections that make this race truly epic. Other unique features include a 200-foot “log prime shortcut” and a section of trail CAMBA calls the “Gravity Cavity.”  All these features and more to ensure the racecourse takes full advantage of CAMBA’s trail building expertise.

“We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with the Festival of Trails for the first annual Mt. Borah Epic,” said Jack Zabrowski, Mt. Borah’s event coordinator. “This course is nothing short of amazing, and I have no doubt this will become an annual event for many riders,” added Zabrowski. CAMBA Executive Director Ron Bergin had this to say about the Epic, “When Mt. Borah approached us and presented the idea of putting on this race, with all profits going to CAMBA, we couldn’t help but be anything but excited for the opportunity. After reviewing the concept with our board, we quickly realized how nicely it fit with our existing Festival of Trails event, opening it up to a wider audience”.
