Welcome to Halloween Shenanigans with Rocky Trail at Haunted Hills MTB Park in Latrobe!
Rocky Trail Entertainment brings their brand-new “Shred & Flow” race to the techy-flowy trails. Traditionally, Haunted Hill has hosted cross-country endurance events for us, we are now turning those trails upside down to give three punchy, fun race stages, inspired by the Superflow® format! Plus an afternoon of Pump Track racing until the Sun goes down!
