Each cyclist may compete as an Individual in the morning races, 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.
Individual

categories, and a Banner to the Overall Combined Championships High
School.

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.
Course:
Courses will combine our wider ski trails with our more technical
single track trails. Course maps will be available two weeks prior to
the event. You may ride the courses before the event, during regular
Hardwood hours, and regular trail fees apply. Start times, start
formulas and distances are listed below. Call Hardwood Ski and
Bike at
(705) 487-3775 during business hours if you have any further questions.
Eligibility* :
All participants in the Championships must be currently enrolled full
time in an Ontario elementary or secondary school. Regional qualifying
meets are not required. Because this is not an OFSAA sanctioned event
it is not mandatory to have a teacher accompany a team, but it is
recommended that a coach or parent attend.
