Short Track Race Info – Please Read Carefully

🧒 U7 / U9 / U12 RidersRace Format: Normal XC format – no changes.
Timing: See Race Day Timings below.

🚴 All Other Riders – What’s Different?This race uses a Short Track Format – it’s not your typical XC race. Please read the following carefully:

🟢 Equal Opportunity Start
  • Mass start format
  • Individual time begins only when you cross the Start/Finish gantry
  • Fair chance for everyone – not just fast starters

🟨 GriddingRiders will be gridded:
  • By League Position
  • Then by Date of Entry (for new riders)

🕒 Start Timing
  • Race starts by gun or whistle
  • Your personal time starts when you pass the Start/Finish gantry
  • Each rider has their own individual time

⏱ 1-Minute Rule
  • Riders must cross the gantry within 1 minute of the start
  • Miss the window? Your time counts from the official start
Key Point: The first rider to finish may not be the winner – it's about elapsed time.

🔁 Warm-Up Loop & Holding Area
  • Warm-Up Loop used for:
    • Controlled race starts
    • Next block warm-up
  • After race/practice lap, return to Rider Warm-Up Area
  • Do not return to your car – you won’t have time
  • Communal gazebo for drinks/equipment
  • Clubs may bring a team gazebo (contact us for space)
  • Riders called 5 minutes before the previous race finishes
  • Quick turnaround: 20 minutes per block
