God's Country Marathon wraps up MASS

The Mid Atlantic Super Series for mountain biking comes to an end Saturday, October 6 with a double points race for the endurance sub-series. Coudersport, Pennsylvania, will host the 50 mile marathon race, just in time for peak autumn colors in the mountains of the north central portion of the state.

Beginning and ending at the Ski Denton resort, the 50-mile course will consist of a mix of singletrack, trail, and forestry roads. Elevation at the ski lodge is 1,825 feet (556 meters ) and the summit of the resort's mountain is at about 2,500 feet (760 meters) so riders should expect plenty of climbing and descending.
