With its West Virginia roots in the original 24 Hours of Cannan, the 2009 24 Hours of Big Bear offers up one of the sweetest 24-hour courses on the planet. Mile after mile of singletrack flowing through shadey hardwood forests, red spruce and mountain laurel make this course as fun as it is beautiful. As many as 200 teams, 50 solo riders and more than 1,000 spectators make the trip to Big Bear, year after year.

The race will take place on June 13th & 14th , 2009 at Big Bear Lake Camplands near Hazelton, West Virginia. Racing is a blast, but you can also have fun as a spectator, volunteer, or as support crew for one of the teams.
