The GoFAR Tread the Trails Mountain Bike Races are a great way to get tune-up or get started in your off-road bike racing. While we have held several running trail races and a couple of Obstacle Course, this will be our first Mountain Bike event at the Park!
For those who have not heard of GoFAR USA Park we are an outdoor adventure park with obstacle course, forested trails and a farm petting zoo near I65 on the east side of Decatur, AL between Priceville and Hartselle. Check us out at https://gofarusapark.com/ and on Facebook. We opened to the public back in March 2020 right at the time of Covid 19 onset. Our slogan at GoFAR USA Park is 'Get Out and Play!'

Course Map and more. The RED trail is the 4.25 mile and 8.5 mile course. The GREEN trail is the 2.5 mile course. The Start is modified for the RED trail to avoid starting on single-track; rather it starts on the BLUE trail at the 'Trail Start' mark.
