Mountain bikers converged on Land Between the Lakes Sunday to race in the annual White Lightning Cross Country Race. The North Welcome Station was the site of the race start and finish as competitors raced north on the Canal Loop Trail through the Lake Barkley side first, under the Canal Bridge then proceed through the Kentucky Lake side to finish up a lap of the approximate 11-mile trail. Juniors and Cat 3 categories ran one lap, Cat 2 did two laps and Cat 1 made three loops.

Many local members of Team Wood-n-Wave competed as well as members of the Marshall County Mountain Bike Team. The race is a part of the Tennessee Bike Racing Association (TBRA) series.
