The Mountain Sports Festival returns to Asheville on May 27-29, with a line up to entice any pro or amateur athlete to test themselves in mountain sports.

The festival brings in more than 15,000 visitors and competitors.

Competitions will take place throughout the weekend beginning with Rock-2-Rock Trail Run in Black Mountain and the Disc Golf Challenge at Festival Village, followed by the brand new Cyclocross Race and Longboarding.

Saturday, there’s a full schedule of high-energy competition highlighted by the Mountain Disc Golf Challenge, French Broad Challenge Triathlon, Urban Mountain Bike Challenge, 2011 Wheel Ride for Food, Dodgeball Tournament and the Climb Max Climbing Competition.

Sunday, the events are still in high gear with more of the Mountain Disc Golf Experience, Sand Volleyball Tournament and the Ultimate Frisbee Clinic.
