PRO-AM CLASSIC
September 18-21
For the Second Annual Pro-Am Classic, avid cyclists and top
professional athletes will ride together in a thrilling cycling
competition set in our beautiful corner of the Smokies. The
event will feature three days of riding with the pros—including
Christian Vande Velde, George Hincapie, Ted King, Robbie
Ventura, Matthew Busche and Craig Lewis—and a $30,000 prize
purse for select charities from the Blackberry Farm Foundation.
With four stages of competition and unparalleled dinners and
wine pairings crafted by our friends Master Sommelier Bobby
Stuckey and Chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson from Frasca Food
& Wine, this weekend will highlight the best of the cycling world
and the best of Blackberry.
