2026 Iron Horse XC Recap

The second annual Iron Horse XC was a huge success, with nearly 50 racers of all ages and skill levels taking part. We had competitors as young as 13 and as old as 71, and the fight for first in the Expert category was intense.

Of course, the Iron Horse isn't just about the competition - it's about watching people challenge themselves in an approachable, fun-focused event. Congratulations to all the podium finishers in each category and everyone who took part.
