March 2020 - Cancelled Ready to get dusted? Come down to Wrightsville Beach to compete or spectate at this year’s tide dictated race start. There will be a 1-hour and a 2-hour race. The two-hour race begins this year at 2 PM, and the 1-hour race bikers will roll out at 4:10 PM. The chubby tired bikes are designed for riding on man-made obstructions like inclining sand berms and tight switchbacks. The race creators cultivate their own special signature of obstacle composition. Station yourself along your favorite part of the route to watch rider after rider fail or succeed - what type of voyeur are you?
This year's race will include a sandcastle building contest beginning at noon and ending at 3:45 PM. The sandcastles will be judged, with cash prizes awarded to first and second place.
For an in-depth experience, volunteer on race day, applications are being accepted.
Alpha Mortgage is the Presenting Sponsor again this year. Legacy sponsor Bike Cycles is responsible for the event organization. Additional sponsors are Waterman's Brewing, Rhino Demolition, and the Blockade Runner Beach Resort - headquarters for registration.
