Male and Female Category Options:
Riders have the choice of entering one of five event categories at each of the three races over the season. These are:

• Short Stage Shuttled

• Short Stage Non-shuttled

• Short Stage Non-shuttled e-bike

• Short Stage 10-12 year old junior package (as of 31 Dec 2023) (Rider + Minder over 20 years old)

• Short Stage 13-14 year old junior package (as of 31 Dec 2023) (Rider + Minder over 20 years old) optional

• Long Stage Shuttled

​​

This year we have added U15 junior + adult minder packages to the race scope too. At 13-14 yrs old the adult minder is not compulsory but is being offered after we received a number of these requests last season. Again, the adult will be timed but does not have a race category, and their primary focus is to look after the junior.
