ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (June 3, 2026) – The legendary Kenda Powerline Park GNCC welcomed racers back to eastern Ohio for round seven of the 2026 Progressive Grand National Cross Country (GNCC Racing) Series, an AMA National Championship. Throughout the weekend, women racers across ATV, Bike and eMTB competitions took on the rough and technical course, battling slick lines, steep climbs, and deteriorating conditions as the race wore on.
