Rowdy Dawg

The first Rowdy Dawg mountain bike race was held in 1988 and has become a longstanding tradition in Southwest Virginia. Not only does it have a reputation for being one of the best race courses in Virginia, it is the oldest continuously running mountain bike race in Virginia. This race is renowned for its grueling course and typically draws a large, diverse field of participants. Ride the trails of the Poverty Creek Trail System in Montgomery County!

Race Categories & Start Times

Rather than use hand timing and a traditional race start, we are utilizing chip timing and start time slots. Chip timing is able to precisely measure your race results by registering your race chip as you pass the start and finish lines. You will have an individual clock associated with your race bib.
