Have general questions about XC race nights? Read on!
How do I register for XC Races?
Buy a season pass or pre-register online for an individual race. There will be no on-site registration in 2021. Click here for pricing and registration info!
When do i receive my number?
You will pick up your number at the first race that you attend. You will keep this number for the duration of the season, and use it at both XC and Mini Enduro events.
What’s the deal with waivers?
Every racer must fill out a Mid Week MTB Series waiver for the season. When you register online for either a season pass or an individual race, you will automatically fill out the waiver at that time.
Certain venues require their own waivers above and beyond the Mid Week MTB Series waiver. Each racer MUST fill out and turn in venue-specific waivers on or before race night in order to race. We will link to venue waivers here as they become available.
Why do I need to purchase a number plate separate in addition to a season pass or race entry?
We make you purchase your plate so that you are more likely to remember to bring it to each race! And we make you pay more for a replacement plate so you’ll be less likely to forget that original number plate!
What if I lose or forget my number plate?
Your number has timing chips on it. Each racer must have a number plate on their bike in order to participate in each race. If you lose or forget your number, you must purchase a new number on-site at the registration tent. Replacement numbers are $15. This new number will be your number for the remainder of the season. DO NOT bring your old number back to a venue!
What are the racing categories, and how do I know which one to enter?
XC races are divided into categories based on racer ability, fitness, and experience. Certain categories are also divided by age group. We ask that you race your age as of 1/1/2021, but we probably won’t card you.
What time does my category start?
Current category start times can be found here. Please note that these are subject to change before the first race of the season. We will announce any changes. Start times will remain the same for the duration of the season.
We pride ourselves on starting on time. If there is a reason for a delay (major traffic issue, accident on the course, need to make course adjustments due to unforeseen circumstances), we will make every effort to alert all racers as early and quickly as possible.
can i change categories?
Yes. but there are several guidelines. Visit the Racing Rules page for more details.
Why are results posted the following day, if we have this fancy ELECTRONIC timing system?
We’d like to say that it’s the way it’s always been. That’s true, of course, but with modern technology, that’s only an excuse. The reality is that it takes time to make sure all racers who started, finished - and make sure everyone turned in their waivers.
In 2021, we can’t hang out together en masse to wait for results anyway. So enjoy the beautiful sunset on the drive home and be assured your results will be waiting for you tomorrow.
i registered or bought a season pass, but now I can’t race. Can I get a refund or transfer my entry to an upcoming race?
We get it. Injuries happen. Work stuff comes up. Whatever the reason you are unable to race, we do not issue refunds for individual races. We may be able to transfer your entry to a future race. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
There will be no refunds given and no transfers allowed on-site.
We can only issue a refund if you purchased a season pass and the race season has not yet started. As we are a non-profit organization, we may withhold a percentage of the total refund based on card processing fees, which we would make you aware of before issuing the refund.
