Teamwork makes the dream work! and team up to get through one of the early Pro splits at Round 3 of the series.

Despite some of the sections looking fairly straightforward, the heat, humidity, and insanely slick rocks make this no walk in the park! Better to team up and work together than to be stuck here all day

Cory King rounded out the Amateur podium at Round 3 of the Ohio Hard Enduro State Championship Series, taking third after a race that was faster and more single-track focused than the terrain he had been preparing for.

King said the course was not packed with extreme hard sections, but that did not make it easy. Instead, riders had to stay alert, stay on top of the bike, and avoid costly mistakes at speed. With tight single track, roots, and plenty of places to wash out or go over the bars, precision mattered all day.

His advice for anyone planning to race the property in the future was straightforward: run a gummy tire, tubeless setup, and super soft suspension - then go have fun.

A solid ride and a well-earned third-place finish for Cory King.

Emmett Covington put together a strong ride at round 3 of the Ohio Hard Enduro State Championship Series, finishing second in the Amateur class after spending much of the day in a tight battle with Bentlee Bredekamp.

Covington, an Ohio local from the Athens area, described the race as fast, hot, and physically demanding - especially through the rock sections. On the second lap, he capitalized on a mistake from Bentlee and made the pass near the top of the rock sections, carrying the lead through the lower section before fatigue started to set in.

Even after Bentlee got back around him, Emmett continued to push hard. The two traded positions throughout the race, making the Anateur battle one of the highlights of the day.

His advice for future riders at this property was simple: focus on single-track speed and trail recognition. With a 12-mile course that mixed quick single track with harder sections, reading the trail quickly was key.

Bentlee Bredekamp made the trip from Iowa to Round 3 of the Ohio Hard Enduro State Championship Series and came away with the Amateur win - his second win of the series - but it was far from an easy day.

Bredekamp spent much of the race locked in a back-and-forth battle with Emmett Covington, with the two riders trading positions multiple times throughout the course. Bentlee said he struggled with arm pump for most of the opening lap, but once that started to fade, he was able to settle in and keep pushing.

One of the toughest moments came in the second creek section, where both riders got stuck for a couple minutes. From there, the race stayed tight, with Bentlee hearing Emmett behind him in the final mile and responding by putting in one last charge to hold the lead.

He praised the course for its spectator-friendly layout, flowy pace, logs, and rock sections, and just enough hard spots to keep things interesting. Aside from a bent clutch lever, the bike held up well, helping him being home the top Amateur spot.
