The Event » Race Rules »

There are two rules that must be adhered to by all riders,

  • Sticking together at all times as partners
    We don’t want to get in the way of your ambition but we insist that you should remain in reasonably close contact with each other to avoid any nasty endings to good beginnings.
  • Carrying your full supply list of obligatory equipment
    This will ensure that you are completely self sufficient. Be it a flat tyre, a scrapped knee or even a touch of makeup for your victory dance at the finish line; make sure you have it completely covered.

The ride of way principal applies to single track and any challenging sections.

  • Ride of Way
    This is a very simple concept that applies to all mountain bikers all over the planet: If you are walking on a section because it is too technical or you are too tired you must give way to those riding. If you are behind someone pushing simply ask for ride of way
  • Give Way
    If there is a faster rider behind you try to find a safe place to let him or her pass you.
  • Shortcuts are not permitted
  • Offensive language is strongly discouraged

Riders may be disqualified at the discretion of organisers for any one or more of the following reasons including but not limited to:

  • Riding at any point on any stage without a helmet
  • Bad sportsmanship, or malicious behavior
  • Damaging the environment
