Gore is a small settlement about 50 minutes from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Gore has been the site of many
races over the past 13 years due to the great terrain and close proximity to Halifax. The surface of the
course is prime due to the deep soil and absence of bedrock. Within the course there is a 1.5km gravel road
consisting of a climb. We made sure to maximize the downhill sections for single-track only!
