‘The Most Horrible Thing Ever’



Pisgah Productions is proud to announce the first ever running of ‘The Most Horrible Thing Ever’

Starting at Midnight Friday night and racing until Noon Sunday (36 hours) Teams of two riders will race to reach up to 36 checkpoints. There will be six separate stages each with their own mandatory checkpoints and unique format. There will be time trials, specific routes, and PMBAR style ‘choose your own adventure’ stages all centered around White Pines group campground.

There is no entry fee. There will be no prizes. This race will be about glory and suffering, pain and endurance, fun and….. no fun at all.

There will be no amenities other than beer, toilets, a campfire, and a light charging station at the campground. You will need to bring EVERYTHING else you may need for the weekend.

Please do not underestimate the extreme difficulty of this event. If 150 miles of Pisgah in February isn’t your thing…. This isn’t your race.

To register: email both team member’s name, address, phone, email, and emergency contact info.
