Race information

Course description

This 4.2 mile NICA race loop is tight, twisty and fun for everyone. The start loop winds through Lion’s Club Park and the cheering crowd. Once you enter the singletrack, make sure that you keep your eyes scanning ahead on the trail or you might be caught out by many tight turns! Don’t worry, there are plenty of areas where the course opens up to allow for passing opportunities. Expect to navigate a few tricky root sections and enjoy the scenery as you cross the fields.

Category staging and start times

Please be on time for staging and listen for your call up number and name. Late student athletes will be placed at the back of the category.
