Individual and Team Relay Races
Hardwood Ski and Bike and Pearl Izumi welcome riders from all over Ontario back for the 16th annual Ontario High School Mountain Bike Championships.

We look forward providing a fun and challenging day for all ages and levels of riders. Each cyclist may compete as an Individual in the morning races (earning Team Points), and again as a school Relay Team in the afternoon.
All school and riders are encouraged to bring other riding friends and athletes to fulfill "Team" points for their school awards.
Elementary School riders are also welcome to compete in a dedicated category.

School Teams
School with 4 or more riders in an age category you qualify as a "Team". While any number of riders may enter for your school, the first 4 riders who finish will be counted for your school team standing.

High School Championships - Grade Categories

To simplify the registration process, avoid confusion, and reduce pack size, categories are based on Grade Level of the racer.
Riders that are aged for different grade level than typically for year of birth, are asked to enter appropriate category.
