Get ready for the 100 miler!! August 26, 2023 we will be hosting a 100 mile ride in preparation for the 2024 AHA Distance National Championships that will be held here at Triple C. We are laying out the absolute best route possible with a variety of mountain climbs (we can't help that as this IS the mountains!!), rolling trail and meadows for moving out, dirt and gravel forest roads  for making up time and about 30 miles of beautiful trail that you have not ever seen on this ride yet. We have chosen the routes with the best footing and terrain as possible. There will be plenty of support as far as hospitality stops and vet checks (2 away vet checks at the same location all the rest will be in camp) This should be a very doable mountain 100! 

Get your 100 mile horses ready because we want to see you there!!!

 

 LOCATION-  4104 Cripple Creek Road, Cripple Creek, VA.

The Iron Mountain Jubilee

is a challenging but very doable and enjoyable mountain endurance ride. You will be riding primarily the Virginia Highlands Horse Trail and the Iron Mountain Trail with several connecting trails. Terrain is mountainous with several long

climbs  interspersed with level areas for moving out.  Footing ranges from good to rocky. Hoof protection required for the longer distances. 

All vet checks will be in camp (except 100). Water will be available but it is  hauled in so please come with your water tanks full.
