XCO courses 4-5km long, aiming to be a total race time of 1h 15 for the winner of each category. This means that Elite riders are expected to do approximately 12.5minute laps. The trails used are generally Intermediate-Advanced and B-lines are provided where possible. AMBC may publish a proposed course, however we cannot guarantee that this will be the exact course used on race day due to the demands of the land owners, park managers, weather conditions and other factors.
