Race Details

4 stage Enduro-type race. Riders will have the three days to complete all stages. Rider cut off time 10am Sunday morning, meaning if you have not done your last stage by then you lose out. There is a DH category, but enduro bikes are highly recommended!

Categories

  • Enduro: Must ride an enduro bike for all race runs. Separate age categories.
  • Hardtail: Must ride a hardtail bike for all race runs.
  • E-Bike: Must ride the same bike for all race runs.
  • Downhill: NOT RECOMMENDED (but doable). Must ride a downhill bike for all race runs. Separate age categories.

Stages

Unlimited amount of practice, but only one race run per stage. Be smart. Timing pods will be up at the start and ending of the stages to tag in and out when you are race ready.

Stage 1 – Flow Job

Stage 2 – DDD

Stage 3 – The Red

Stage 4 – DD 

Plus some sneaky bonus trails to be found. You won’t want to miss out.

Camp at the Holey Trails! Glam camp or normal camp all is good, and recommended as there’ll be a good bunch of happenings happening…if this makes sense. There will be additional ablutions on site to make things a little more comfortable.

Or, book in to surrounding B&Bs. Some options:
