Pisgah Triple Crown Points Series
​
The Pisgah Triple Crown consists of 4 races. Each race has points awarded to the place you are at an event. The racers with the top 3 points in each category will be crowned at the final event. We have created two series. One for the hard core riders and one for the more casual racer. Each race takes place in the Pisgah and Uwharrie National Forests and delivers demanding terrain on some of the oldest mountains in the world! You will enter in the backcountry at every event so come prepared for any situation.

2024 Rules
-
Must finish three of four races to qualify for series awards.
-
Series points will be based on your three best races. (1) If you race in all four races, your lowest score will be thrown out. (2) If you only race in three races, those three scores go towards your series points. (3) If you race in only one or two events, you do not qualify for series awards.
-
Highest number points will win that category.
-
If there is a tie in points at the end of the series, the tie breaker will go to the racer with the highest points in the first race they competed together in. For example, if racer #1 competed in race #1, #2, and #4 and Racer #2 competed in race #2, #3, and #4, then the racer with the highest points in race #2 wins the tie breaker.
-
You must complete each race on your own bike. You are allowed to get help with mechanicals from other racers/spectators/mechanics.
-
Series Director reserves the right to make any decisions not covered above.
