Race Format
Each race will consist of 4 or 5 timed segments called Special Stages. Special Stages are predominantly downhill routes on single-track trail, with a focus on technical riding and endurance. All Special Stages will be part of established mountain bike trail networks in the Corner Brook or East White Hills trail systems.
Each Special Stage is accessed by an untimed Liaison Stage. The competition begins at the Race Start, and racers will follow the first Liaison Stage to the start point of Special Stage #1. There are additional Liaison Stages between each Special Stage. After the final Special Stage, racers will follow the last Liaison Stage to the Finish of the race.
A Course Plan will be released to participants 5 days prior to each event. The Course Plan will include the following:
Location of all Special Stages and Liaison Stages
Location of Race Start and Race Finish
Designated parking areas
A race schedule including sign-in and start times will be provided with the course plan. An overall time limit will be provided and participants must complete the race within this time limit to receive results.
Racer Categories
The following categories are open for competitors in the St. John’s Enduro Series.
Under-19 Sport
Under-19 Expert
Men Sport
Men Expert
Women
The Under-19 category is based on the age of the participant as of December 31, 2021. Only riders born in the year 2003 or later are eligible for Under-19.
Sport and Expert categories are self-selected. The Sport categories are for beginner/intermediate riders and Expert categories are for advanced riders only. Participants in an Expert category will complete one additional Special Stage that other participants will not complete. This additional Special Stage will be the most technically challenging stage of the race. It is recommended that anyone unsure about selecting Sport or Expert should select the Sport category.
Women will be able to race in either the Sport or Expert category with the last stage in Expert being optional and not counting for the overall time. Points will be counted from the 4 Sport stages.
If a participant wishes to enter the series but does not wish to be competitive, you may request that your times and scores are not to be included in race results or overall standings. This request must be made to the race organizers a minimum of one week prior to the date of the event.
