The Challenge will be a 6-hour timed event that includes both individual and relay options. The goal is to get in as many laps as you can in under 6 hours. The race starts at 10:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. Riders will be notified at 3:15 pm that their race is likely over, but will be allowed to continue. Riders coming in after 4:00 pm will be given a finish time of their previously completed lap. The start finish line will be in the Airplane field at main trailhead (siloh).  The course will be 1 complete lap of Lock 4’s mtb trails. The lap has 450 ft of climbing, and is dominantly rolling flowing single track.

The Start At 9:30 am, the bicycle staging area will be open to place your bikes in horizontal rows alongside the lake. At 9:45 there will be a quick pre-race meeting and line-up for the Lemans Style start, which will be a 100 yard dash to your bicycle. Once on the bike, you'll ride through chicanes, then into wooded trail.  After completing west side loop, you will make a full out and back loop through the peninsula and back to the east side jeep road.

Relay guidelines  Relays should tag at the Start/Finish Line. Your team should all have the same number.
