Back to a super fast and flowy course with the usual mix of fast singletrack, tough climbs, rock gardens and bombholes
We are working hard to improve what we have used in previous editions with some new twists.
We are running the following categories in line with the UCI MTB categories;
Elite Men, Elite Women, Master, Veteran, Junior.
This differs to the current NPS format due to current UCI category requirements, but we will run with Senior 3 and Senior 4 categories for people outside of the race distances of the championship categories.
