THE COURSE

8.1KM, 214M if ups and downs.  Expert riders will do 3 laps, Intermediate 2 laps and Beginner 1 lap.

FREE U12 youth race.  Adults are free to ride with their kids.

NOTE: Start and finish is about a 10 minute walk/3 minute bike ride from Village Park. The race route will not go through Village park so spectators please consult the Trailforks link. 

A note about the start finish from course director Brett:  I think we talked about backing the start up a little bit more. Probably halfway between the existing start and the exit of Space Nugget. That will give a bit more of a run in, and we will do away with the long climb up the road on the first lap and go straight into the regular lap. The finish will move a bit up the road from the exit of 2 flats to avoid finishing right at the exit of singletrack and to give a bit more opportunity for exciting sprint finishes.
