CORC XC Series Round 3
2024-05-19 10:00 - 11:30 | Stromlo Forest Park, Dave McInnis Road, Stromlo, ACT, Australia
This is the third round of the CORC Club series for 2024
Our grading concept is simple, and largely based on self selection, with a few rules:

To avoid juniors racing excessive lengths we have implemented minimum age limits to some categories.
Pick your category based on your speed and endurance. We will try to aim for the target race times below, but may adjust lap numbers based on the course.
Don’t race up a grade to try to get a longer race. The intent of these races are to be shorter cross country races, not marathon races. Once the leader in each category crosses the finish line all riders can complete the lap they are on, but not start a new lap.
Sometimes it’s not easy to know which category to choose. Don’t stress it if you get it wrong, you can always change category for the next race. If you race up or down on purpose we may kindly bump you up or down.)

To calculate overall results, we count your best roughly 75% of races, according to the formula in our results sheet (results are available after round 1).
We ask that all entries are pre-entered to make it easier for us. If you forget then we can enter you on the day, if you have AusCycling card and $6 for us.
