The course itself, aside from the\u00a0fire roads\u00a0 is all natural forest floor so expect to see the same mud, roots and rocks as last year but thankfully Garvagh holds up well in poor weather conditions so don\u2019t let a few days rain put you off! The course is approximately 3.6 miles long and has about 40%\u00a0fire road.\u00a0 There is around 500ft of climbing and descending per lap; no long sustained climbs but there are a few short sharp kicks on technical singletrack and a long drag from the start finish area.<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yW3Sf1RYhu0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The start finish area will be adjacent to the school grounds where there will be ample parking and direct access from the school grounds to the course.

This course will be\u00a0centered\u00a0around the start\/finish area, will be convenient to the car park and facilities in the school ground and will be excellent for spectators as they will be able to view the whole kids\u2019 course from the one spot. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnwheelers.co.uk\/content\/?id=58&amp;l1id=41\" target=\"_blank\">(more)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Practice<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The course will be taped and open for practice on the Saturday (20th)\u00a0afternoon before the race from 1PM to 6PM. <strong>You must park in the school grounds and sign on to be able to practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Race categories<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<table width=\"571\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">Championship Classes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">Support (non-champ) Classes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">U12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">U6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">U14<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">U8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">U16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">U10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">JUNIOR MALE 17-18<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">S4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">JUNIOR FEMALE 17-18<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">NON ELITE LADIES<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">ESPOIR \u2013 U23<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\">\n<p align=\"center\">EXPERT \u2013 U30<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">MASTERS \u2013 U40<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">VETS &#8211; 40+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">ELITE MALE \u2013 23+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"288\">\n<p align=\"center\">ELITE FEMALE \u2013 23+<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"283\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\">Race Timetable<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">09:30 &#8211; sign on opens (see note 2\u00a0below)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">10:45 &#8211; Under 6 \/ parent assisted \/ fun<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">11:00 &#8211; Under 8s race<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">11:15 &#8211; Under 10s race<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">11:30 &#8211; Under 12s race<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">12:00 &#8211; Under 16s, Under 14s, non-championship races for Senior 4 males and Senior\u00a0 3 females<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">13:30 &#8211; Prize giving (1)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">14:00 &#8211; Elite male, Elite female, Veterans, Masters, Junior male, Junior female, Espoirs, Experts (non-championship race)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">16:00 &#8211; Prize giving (2)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fees<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(GBP or EUR equivalent)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">U6, U8, U10, U12 &#8211; \u00a32<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">U14 + U16 &#8211; \u00a35<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">JUNIOR &#8211; \u00a310<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ALL OTHER CLASSES &#8211; \u00a318<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\">Pre-registration<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div>The event will be pre-entry but pay on the day.
