Time to experience Bad Branch and Jack’s Branch Trails!
The Saturday Trail run is perfect for veteran trail runners or new trail runners looking to test their skills at Syllamo.
Both distances cover Jack’s Branch – a mix of big climbs, flow, and gnarly tech. Around 10 miles, runners are treated to a stunning view of the Sylamore Creek Valley below.
New to 2023, the 26.2-mile trail run will continue onto Bad Branch Trail. This loop is natural flow at its purest. It begs to be run fast and hard with short punchy climbs, rolling hills, but unrelenting terrain to keep you on your toes!
Blanchard Springs is home to impressive rock formations. In the afternoon, a bouldering competition is hosted by professional climbers. It’s an amazing opportunity to learn, hone, and test your skills.
No trip to Syllamo would be complete without riding the legendary IMBA Epic trails. These old-school trails still hold true to their wild and rugged roots.
The 16 Mile race completes the Bad Branch Loop. This is perfect for entry-level mountain bikers or anyone looking for a fast course.
The 26.2 Mile race starts with Bad Branch and then continues to Jack’s Branch. This challenging but rewarding course is sure to test any rider and become a race they want to ride again and again.
