Race Categories

We are so proud and excited to be able to support MTB racing and nurture cycling in our local community! As you can imagine, it takes a lot of work to organise an event like this and we are delighted that our ideas are finally coming to fruition. In an attempt to attract a higher number of first time racers, a USAC racing licence is NOT required to enter the series. As such, anyone can enter any of the categories listed below (apart from age restriction for juniors). Before you enter, please consider the experience level we would expect to see of riders in each category. Remember, we are all here to have fun! Basically, NO SANDBAGGING.

Youth Category
