The ACA’s second race of the 2024 mountain bike season is at McClellan Multi-Use Trails. Located inside a former U.S. Army installation called Fort McClellan, these bike trails have 10+ miles of purpose-built singletrack and are perfect for riders of all ages. With a great variety of blue and green trail segments, the trails are known for winding through the woods. Trail names capture the history of the military base, community figures and local heros.
