The UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships cast a spotlight on Snowshoe, West Virginia this weekend, making it the first time the endurance event has been held in North America in its 22-year history. Competitions take place on Saturday, September 21.

Defending MTB Marathon women’s world champion Mona Mitterwallner (Austria) will match up against the two other riders on last year’s podium, Candice Lill (South Africa) and Adelheid Morath (Germany). Among the 51 women on the start list she’ll also have to battle 2016 MTB Marathon world champion Jolanda Neff (Switzerland), who is on a comeback from missing three months of competition due to an ongoing illness.
