After the race promoter cancelled the event that was to serve as the 24-hour mountain bike national championships in Hazelton, West Virginia, in mid-June, USA Cycling announced a new venue and date for the championships. For the second consecutive year, the 24 hours of Moab will host the race for the stars and stripes. This year's edition will happen on October 9-10 in Moab, Utah.
