This is the perfect event for both first time racers, right through to experienced riders.

PUT THEM IN THE CALENDAR NOW
In this inaugural year, we're keeping it fun! There won't be any points for overall series winners, so you can choose to participate in one race or conquer all three. Gives you something to train for, ride with your mates and get that summer bod!
All riders will be timed however, so you can race your mates and have boasting rights.
On-site Registration: 4.30pm - 5.45pm (Entry is completed on the night)
Race Briefing: 5.45pm
Start: 6.00pm
Participants must be at least 11 years old, and confident to ride by themselves. If they have never ridden in the park by themselves, this is not a suitable time to try it out, please have a parent riding with them.
This is a fun and free event open to all riders who have a current Waitangi Mountain Bike Park Annual Donation on Hivepass. If you don't have one, you can complete a $10 Day Donation on the night. Remember, no donation to the Park, no race entry.
You are riding at your own risk, so it is up to you to ensure that your bike and helmet are in safe working condition. Please make you sure you read the T & C's for taking part. It is your responsibility to ensure you understand all the conditions before you enter (link can be found at the bottom of this page)

Short Course: Ideal for those looking for a social ride or less competitive riders. It's a single lap of the course
Long Course: It is 2 laps of the selected course.
Each lap will be approximately 10km long, depending on the Friday, and will only be Grade 2 and 3 Tracks to ensure fun for all levels of riders.
