Categories

All categories (except Expert, Elite and Go-Race) are based on age. To calculate your category, it’s the current year minus your year of birth. e.g. 2013 – 1974 = 39. The category for a rider aged 39 would be Masters, unless an Expert or Elite race licence is held.

Expert and Elite are ability categories, only open to riders with a current British Cycling race licence that states Expert or Elite beside the MTB XC discipline.

Go-Race is for newcomers to MTB racing, wanting to experience XC racing and learn the ropes, and also those looking for a more leisurely/fun race.

Under 13′s and Under 10′s kids races will be held at every round and are entry on the day only.
