Hare and Hound (Motorcycle Race)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] United States Hare and Hound
In the United States, a Hare and Hound is a type of off-road racing event where the entrants compete on dirt bikes over a marked course of natural rugged terrain. Hare and Hounds events are made up of two separate race courses with each course averaging 40 miles in length. The break between each course (or loop) is used for refueling and bike maintenance. The first racer to cross the finish line after the second "loop" is considered the winner of the event. Hare and Hounds are more popular in the Mojave desert region of California but are held in other states as well.
