Asheville, North Carolina
For the first time, the iconic BWR will be staged outside of California. The Asheville race will provide professional and amateur cyclists access to the most coveted roads and off-road sectors around the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Hosted by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company at their iconic Mills River location, the event’s start, finish and expo will take place on the scenic brewery grounds. The route features rolling mountain passes, rough and rocky outcroppings, lake views, dense forests and rivers and waterfalls. Riders will get a bit of everything thrown at them: hard-packed, flat, loose, rocky, uphill and downhill gravel over a 144-mile route punctuated by 20 off-road sectors that give the event a unique and challenging complexion.

The course has a variety of different surfaces; gravel, single track, rocky trails, sandy sections and even some asphalt and bike paths.
