Course

The course has a short, wide, paved start/finish stretch which runs opposite to the normal direction of the race course, and makes a gentle, sweeping first turn on to grass for a separate start loop. It then bends and rejoins the lower section of the course near the pit area. The course includes a long, grass field section, a set of barriers, then followed be a short section of sand that may be a run. Then the course doubles back for the first passage of the pit. There is one double pit, with a water supply. After the pit, the course moves on to a short paved section, into the grass again, and then up short, steep, wooded run, back to the upper section of the course. From there it winds through the trees on grass, before dropped off a steep descent back to the lower field, and a second pass of the pit area. After the pit, the rider head back up the ledge for another unforced run, more fast, grass riding through the trees, and then a U-turn on to the start/finish stretch. In total, there are 3, and possibly 4 running sections, depending on weather. Total distance per lap is approximately 3km.
Day 2's course uses many of the same lanes, but the passages from the upper to the lower field are reversed, and sections of the course are connected in different places for a course with similar feel but very different challenges.
