The Lost River Classic returns for its third year on August 17, 2024! Registration opens Christmas Day 2023 at an early bird rate of $65 before going up to $85 on January 2 and $100 on August 1.

The Lost River Classic presented by the Lost River Trails Coalition is a gravel race to support the development of multi-use and mountain biking trails in Lost River State Park, Hardy County, West Virginia. Our immediate aim is to build our IMBA-designed 3 mile beginner and intermediate loop in the park and subsidize a portion of the operating cost of the Cryptids, Hardy County's new NICA youth mountain bike team.  This event is inspired by Jay Moglia, the founder of Raw Talent Ranch and the first President of the Lost River Trails Coalition. Jay once ran a road race in Mathias by the same name, and we thought it was a fitting tribute to recast his race as a collection of some of the most challenging and beautiful roads we can string together in Hardy County. The premier Lost River Classic route has something for everyone: gravel, pavement, singletrack, doubletrack logging roads, and private farm tracks we have been granted special permission to use.
