All NABRA rules apply.  Event will be held rain or shine.  No refunds.  Bicycle and wheel changes are allowed in the designated pit areas only.  Helmets are required at all times while on the bike.  Water feeds are allowed during the race.  Cyclocross or hard tail mountain bikes are best for handling the course and obstacles.  Mountain Bike pedals and shoes are best or flat pedals with trail running shoes.  This event is held under NABRA Cycling Permit.  2014 NABRA rules apply.

Warming up on the Course Once the last rider has crossed the line in the current active wave, the race officials will allow riders to “pre-ride” the course to become familiar with route and obstacles. Please enter the course past the finish line and do not pass or enter in front of riders who are still racing on the course. As in the past, while pre-riding do not cross the finish line while the timing system is running and do not pass active racers on course. There will always be enough time to complete one lap before the next race starts. Once the next race has started, warming up on the course is not allowed.

CATEGORIES: Senior (over CX age 18) and Masters categories may be listed by ability as well as age. Ability categories are as follows:

A (CX Cat 1-4) is the fastest group out there – also might be called expert, elite. Highly competitive – if you aren’t an experienced racer (in cyclocross or another discipline) this is likely not the group for you.

B (CX Cat 3-5) is the intermediate group – faster and more experienced than “C” riders but not at “A” pace yet.

C (CX Cat 4-5) is geared toward the beginner rider – new racers should usually start here and move to “B” when comfortable.

Masters is for riders with a racing age (on Dec 31, 2015) equal to or greater than the indicated age. Masters A (CX-1-4) is often the second fastest group on the course, just behind the A race. Basically “A”racers that are older and have family/career commitments.

Masters B (CX3-5) is generally a bit slower than B, as the average age is higher in the Masters group For new racers eligible to race masters, you might want to try both “C” and Masters B to see which you prefer.
