RACING
All racers start together at 8:00 am Saturday.
On lap 1, all riders' lap times start at 8:00 am, and conclude when you pass through the finish arch.
For teams, a rider's lap time begins when their teammate completes their lap.
You may start a lap up until 4:00 pm. ** RAIN MIGHT SHORTEN THE RACE **
Laps must be completed by 5:00 pm, when timing stops. ** RAIN MIGHT SHORTEN THE RACE **
Being mean or unfair to others will get you disqualified.
Technically speaking, if the racing is tight, competitors could race up to the 9 hour mark at 5:00 pm. ** RAIN MIGHT SHORTEN THE RACE **
SCORING
We keep track of racer laps with our very own in-house RFID race scoring system: Rhesus™.
The most laps accumulated in the shortest amount of time wins.
Results are provided in real-time with digital touch-screen displays located in the festival near the finish line so you can see how your doing throughout the day.
AWARDS
Awards are given to the top 3 finishers of all categories.
If a given category has more than 30 teams or more than 30 soloists, we extend the podium to the top 5 finishers in that category.
You must be present to collect your prizes during the awards ceremony which takes place the day of the race at 5:30pm.
