Race Format

  • Timing chip pickups and activation are in waves at assigned times (below)

  • Racers will then load the lift for the first time at assigned times (below)

  • After racing the first assigned stage, all remaining stages can be raced in any order

  • 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 assigned times for each class (below)

  • 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.
