Enduro Jam 

GENERAL RULES:

​

Enduro Jam is an exciting and low-key mountain biking race format but rules apply, mostly to keep people safe. The most important rules to abide by include:

​

• Golden Carrot stage will only be open to general field from 9am-10am. Paper trail will be closed to all riders until 10am (or until Golden Carrot is clear).

• multiple stage attempts are permitted and your fastest stage time is used for your total course time.

• you may attempt each stage as many times as you like. 

• you must complete all stages in your category

• the lowest overall time after completing every stage is deemed the winner

• riders usually queue at the stage starting area with a marshal advising you when to race. 30 seconds is generally a suitable gap between competitors, but it is advised to check with the rider before and after you to ensure adequate time is left. 

• the race director has the discretion to prohibit unsafe or unsuitable bikes.

• you may switch bikes for the Whip-Off. Please reattach your Race plate.

• if a rider behind you has given ample time and catch you on the stage, you must move aside.

  • if you want to overtake a rider, clearly and politely let the rider in front know – ‘rider when ready’ is a good approach

  • if you are being overtaken, move over immediately where it is safe to do so

  • please and thank you go a long way!
