Carter County Omnium
January 1, 1970 @ 12:00 am - June 6, 2021 @ 12:00 am
The Carter County Omnium will be June 5-6, 2021. It continues the three-race event in East Tennessee since 2006 with cash prizes of $9,000+. This points stage race combines a major climbing road race with a short time trial and a criterium (closed-circuit race). For participants, it has honed their form so the next year they have competed in the Tour de France and the Tour of California, or become National Champions. For the spectators, it shows exciting competition within hands-reach along the criterium course.https://cartercountyomnium.com/ The Carter County Roan Groan
