Riders Notes
Race Format:
Trail Party Format means you can run your assigned stages as many times as you would like
Only your best time on each stage will count towards your total time
It is encouraged to run all assigned stages once before rerunning each one
Timing chips will be due at at scheduled time.
Lowest total time wins your class
Timing Information
Timing chips are to be worn on your left wrist
Start and Finish stations posted on each stage will record your race times
The time-stamped recordings are stored in the chip
Start and Finish stations have a 6’ radius so you must pass within that distance for your time to count
Avoid the stations when not racing so as to not put extra stamps on your chip
Start with one foot on the ground on the provided start line
Have chips returned by assigned time
Lost chips are $120 so be careful with them
Times will posted on the Results page ASAP
Race Safety
With so many riders and up to six short stages, be conscious of other riders on course
Riders may ask for additional time before the rider after them starts or may ask them to go first
Slower riders safely yield to passing riders
Faster riders call out to slower riders to pass
Please report course or tape damage to the Trail Party tent so it can be fixed ASAP
Follow all park rules
Do not cut any courses
Downed Rider Protocol
If you crash, please try to move off course immediately and seek help
The first rider to come across a downed rider should stay with them and stop traffic from proceeding
The second rider to come across them should go straight to seek aid from medics
Cellular phone service is limited but medical staff will be posted
The third rider to come across them should help the first rider keep the downed rider safe
Do not move or pick up a downed rider if they cannot help move themself
Please study the notes, schedules, protocols, and maps to ensure a smooth, safe day.
This is the big one folks. The 6th annual Race Down Spider Mountain is an all day event and historically the biggest enduro in the state. We understand that people may have other plans that evening and we will do our best to get through the race on time. Above all be kind to Spider and TTP staff and volunteers. We are trying our best, but MTB racing has many factors that can affect an event.
