Event Format

The 4F Twilight Series is a team event, with riders in teams of three. Team members can enter any combination of grades A-E (Junior U13 & U11 will accrue points and receive separate recognition for the series.). Participation points from the three team members will go towards the overall total, with additional points awarded to the top 5 finishers in each criterium event. Teams registering a volunteer will also earn points.

Individuals not riding for a team will only be able to enter if there is capacity. Grades limits apply to promote rider safety, and there will be a wait list for each grade if we hit capacity.

There will also be skills sessions, Little Critters, a creche, and food vans.

Informal presentations will conclude rounds 1 & 2, recognizing top five placegetters in each race, and new racers. Formal presentations of prizes will conclude round 3: - Team Prize - teams podium & prizes (1,2,3)
