An Overview
How the
6-hour
race works
Marathon provincial championships are back with a 14.5km course that will take in some of the classic XC trails, as well as new school trails at the nordic center including Ziggy’s, the albertan, odyssey and EKG. The race starts at 08:30, and riders can start their last lap up until 14:29:59– with that lap being completed before 15:30:00 to qualify.
The race will have a lemans start (a short run to your bike) and then riders head out on the course. The little ziggy 3 will share a short section of the course, which will be awesome for them to share with the big guys!
