Upstate Trail Series
Singletrack, state parks and mountain courses.
The Upstate Trail Series brings together our toughest, most scenic off-road races: singletrack climbs, state park loops and point-to-point mountain courses across the Upstate and beyond. Every race in the series supports the Giving Series and its 30 local nonprofit partners.
