Hare scramble is a form of off-road motorcycle racing that varies in distance and time, with the riders completing multiple laps around a marked course through wooded or other rugged natural terrain.
The majority of the course consists of a wooded, single and double width trail, with occasional pasture and sand crossings.
The natural terrain tests the riders' abilities to navigate through obstacles such as creek beds, logs, hills, mud, rocks and ruts.
Some trails are cut to 30 in (760 mm) or less so motorcycle handlebars will not fit between trees, requiring special skills to navigate.
Conversely, Hare Scramble runs at a slower rate and is much tighter, requiring a different set of skills than GNCC.
