About.

SCUM's Cross Country (XC) events have a set number of laps around the course. The length of each loop is usually between 6 to 7½ km’s and the number of laps ridden depends on the category that is entered; see our categories table below. Each category starts separately (no mass start). Riders compete with riders in the same category and we have enough categories to suit all ages and abilities. Ultimately the first over the finish line in each category is the winner.

A non-competitive Novice Event will be held prior to the main XC event (if numbers permit). Novice events target those a little unsure about entering the main event, but want to have a good go. There is no age limit for the Novice event (it is suitable for young and old). A great way for mum or dad, even grandma or grandpa to have a go and see what all the fun is about. The course is a shortened section of the main track (between 2-3km) and riders do as many laps as they can (or want to do) in the specified time. The course is closed at the 30 minute mark so riders can finish their last lap. The Novice event is usually done and dusted in about 45 minutes.

*Age limitation: Your age is calculated as being the age you will be on the 31 Dec of the current calendar year. For example, if you are turning 15 before 31 Dec, but are currently 14 years old you will race in the Under 17 Category all year. You cannot race in the Under 15 category, as you will be 15 on the 31 Dec.
