4th Annual Bracken Mountain Races & Festival to be held Saturday September 2, 2017
Mountain Roots, Inc. is excited to announce the 4th annual Bracken Mountain Races & Festival on Saturday, September 2! Join the Mountain Roots crew in Brevard for a day of true mountain life, adventure and community. The day starts off with a 12K foot race at 8:30 a.m., when local adventurers will tackle the trails of Bracken Mountain—starting on west Main, running out Probart and up into the Bracken Preserve. The second race of the day is a 12K bike race at 11:30 a.m. for those that feel like “attackin’ Bracken” on their mountain bikes—same race course as the runners. Race registration still available. Visit http://www.mountainroots.org/bracken-races.html for registration, race,and festival information. West Main Street will be closed from England to Oaklawn (allowing traffic through the post office loop) from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. And a reminder to drivers that racers will be on Probart Street throughout the day September 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
