Cyclocross
The 5th and 6th KnoxieCross races are Feb 12th and 13th. Knoxiecross is a cyclocross racing series located locally here in Knoxville, with a total of 8 races. http://www.knoxiecross.com/wherewhen.html Cyclocross consists of many laps of a short (2.5-3.5 km or 1.5-2 mile) course featuring pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to quickly dismount, carry the bike whilst navigating the obstruction and remount.
Short Track Racing
It's like cyclocross, BMX, criterium, mountain bike all put together. Racers go around a short track as many times as possible for 20-30 minutes, through mud, grass, wood, hay bales and other hoop-la. It's fun, fast, spectator-friendly, and it's coming to South Knoxville, starting Feb 26! http://tncupmtb.com/
