Racers can also compete in the Capital Cup presented by Racers Edge Inc. in head-to-head dual cross event, which is a "Y" format. The 1300 foot long course starts off as gated dual slalom and then merges into a wide-open Mountain Cross/BMX style of course with jumps and berms as it drops over 150 vertical feet. The Racers Edge builders are nationally known for this style of course and the dual cross format is exciting for both racers and spectators. USA Cycling MTB Classes and separate modified BMX classes will be available. Riders may enter multiple classes (MTB and BMX) for one entry fee. There will be timed qualifying runs to create the brackets and all riders will qualify and battle through the single elimination brackets until the last two riders are in the finals. The top three finishers in each class will receive awards. Entry fee for Dual Cross is $30.
Aside from the racing action, there is a ton of other activities for the entire family at Wisp Resort which include: mountain bike riding on non-race trails, mountain coaster rides, canopy zip line tours, mountain buggy tours, white water rafting @ ASCI, a skate park, scenic chairlift rides, hiking, a swimming pool and a hot tub at the hotel, fine dining and more.
