AGE-BASED CATEGORIES ETHER, WIND, FIRE, EARTH, WATER will race on single black to green level trails. Your team's color category is based on your team's cumulative age determined by adding together the ages of each team member.

COSTUME CONTEST
Some say this is THE MOST competitive part of this race!
No matter how competitive your team is planning to race, you should
definitely add "biking in team costumes" to your practice regime.
Show your team spirit, pride, panache, or clever puns... hello, Team Long Steel stole the team costume contest last year. Fastest across the finish line take home the medals, but most fabulously dressed crossing all the lines take home some some seriously sweet costume prize loot - YEEEWWWW!
