24 Hours of Adrenalin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
24 Hours of Adrenalin is a mountain bike event series in North America. In 2005, over 10,000 enthusiasts participated, earning 24 Hours of Adrenalin the title of "fastest growing mountain bike event series in North America."[1] It revolves around a massive relay race, where solo riders or teams of up to ten people compete to ride as many laps as possible in 24-hours, though participants are only required to complete one lap. The race generally favors speed over technical skill and begins with a 600-metre dash to retrieve bikes. In addition to placings, awards are presented for Best Theme and Best Helmet. First place winners in each category receive a jersey and medal, while other finalists receive prizes donated by sponsors.[2]
The race takes place annually in various cities across North America, including:
The 24 Hours of Adrenalin world solo championships take place at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Georgia, the site of mountain biking's debut as an Olympic sport.[3] Qualifying athletes compete for titles in elite, age group and single speed categories.
