Race Information
Virgil Crest isn't easy! Ascents and descents can be steep, cumulative gains and losses are significant, and there's always the chance for the weather to double down on those challenges. But the sunrise as you crest the opening climb, the singletrack forest, the less-technical footing allowing you to flow when you can, is beautiful. And while there's a certain wonderful adventure to point-to-point courses, the repeat circuit or loop format allows for easy crew access and increased social connection.
