Detailed Information

What is a Hare Scramble?

A Hare Scramble is a meet over any course, preferably cross country, where rider ability is the determining factor, and no time schedule is followed. The course shall include roads, dirt roads, trails, footpaths, up and down hill, or any other type of terrain, which can be negotiated by a motorcycle. The course should be a closed course, between 5 and 20 miles in length, with the number of laps determined by the promoting club, usually time-based. The riders go through a check each lap, at which the rider’s laps are counted. Additional checks may be added to prevent course cutting.

Course Description

The Mini moto is 5.50 miles long. The Novice and Pro/Expert/Amateur course is just over 6 miles. The terrain at the Thomaston Dam is diverse. The upper trails are rocky and rooty with some elevation changes. The lower trails are single track with few rocks with twisty trails flowing through the tall weeds. Many in the NETRA series label this track as “fast”
