Race Format and Description:

2 Races for the Price of 1!!!
CornerstoneCX will feature 2 waves of races on 2 separate courses. 
Short Course will be open all morning to ride / warm up on. 
Long Course will be open once the afternoon races begin on the short course.
Not racing? No problem, just fill out a waiver and you can ride the course as well!
Race 1 - Long Course:
  • This is a 7-9 minute course (~1 mile in length) featuring a short section of gravel, loads of undulations, and plenty of twists and turns.  
  • These races will run in a "standard" format and are just a little shorter to help everyone stay a little fresh for the second wave of races.
  • Top 5 racers from each race will qualify to move on to a "Qualifiers" race in the second wave of races.
Race 2 - Short Course:
  • This is a 4-5 minute course (~.6 miles in length)  with some challenging hill work, fast technical turns, and with some flat technical sections sprinkled in.  Riders will complete 2.3 or 3.3 laps depending on race category.  The ".3" is to account for the start chute and last portion of the course that will be used in the start of the race.  This includes both times up the hill, including the  #BeTOUGH climb sponsored by Ridley. 
  • There will be 2 "Heats" in each of the 3 "Pools":
  1. Qualifiers: Top 5 finishers from each of the categories featured in the  Qualifiers Pool for their class.
  2. General: Non-qualifiers from each of the categories featured in the General Pool for their class.
  • This allows EVERYONE who raced the Long Course to participate in the Short Course
  • Qualifiers may be placed in a higher Pool by permission of the Chief Judge.
