Hey folks, we are ramping up for the biggest weekend in the history of the series. We still need volunteers for the races, so if you can help or know someone who can help, have them message me here or at [email protected].
Registration for the Friday and Saturday races closes tomorrow night at 10 pm. Registration for the Sunday race closes at 8 pm on Saturday night.
Call-ups: From this race through the rest of the season, if you want to be called up then you MUST register by 8 pm on Thursday, regardless if its a Saturday or Sunday race. If you don't make this deadline, you will start in the back.
Call-ups for some of the Junior classes this Sunday will go by national rankings first and then US MTB Series rankings. See you all this weekend.

The Harris Lake Meltdown is quickly approaching. The course is posted on the website. Because of the construction, the course has slightly changed. The start/finish is in the woods this year, but registration and podiums will be in the grass parking field like last year. We will have signs posted early Saturday leading you to the start/finish. Remember, it's a $10 late fee if you sign up on the day of the race, so please sign up online to avoid the additional fee. See you all soon.
🚨 USMTB FAMILY — HARRIS LAKE MELTDOWN THIS WEEK! 🚨
📍 Harris Lake County Park
📅 This Sunday, April 12
We’re headed back to one of the most popular stops in the series — Harris Lake Meltdown — and the course is looking 🔥. Fast, fun, and almost identical to last year’s layout, so if you raced it before, you already know what’s coming.
⚠️ IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE — PLEASE READ ⚠️
Due to ongoing construction at Harris Lake, there are a few changes we want everyone to be aware of. This construction was not communicated to us at the time of booking, so we appreciate everyone working with us on this.
👉 What’s Different This Year:
Riders will need to ride to the start/finish line, which will be located in the woods
Podiums + Registration will remain in the grass parking lot (same as usual)
👉 What’s NOT Changing:
The course is in great shape
The layout is nearly identical to last year
Expect the same fast, flowing Harris Lake experience
🚧 Looking Ahead:
The upside here is that these improvements mean a brand-new parking lot and upgraded bathroom facilities for next year, which will significantly enhance the race experience moving forward.
🙏 We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these unexpected changes this year.
