Super D Race Format:
Racers will leave at one minute increments. The best of two runs format will be utilized unless it is raining or if the course is so slick that multiple runs would cause excess erosion. If this happens then the Super D will be a single run format. This will be decided the day of the event.

Super D Course Description:
The Super D will take place on the first half of the Headwaters loop which is about the same distance as the Dark Mtn Super D course. The course has more jumps and rocky technical sections than Dark Mtn. The course does have climbing sections but nothing super steep and no long pedally sections like Dark Mtn.

Dash for Cash Race Format:
Racers will leave at one minute increments. One run format. Course Marshals will be strategically located throughout the course. Part of the Course Marshal’s responsibility is to ensure racers do not run through certain sections of the course as this will result in disqualification. Walking through sections is permitted.

Dash for Cash Course Description:
The Dash for Cash will take place on the second half of the Headwaters. This part of the course is very rocky and technical with a good portion of the course involves climbing though nothing is really steep. This is your chance to showcase your technical ability…and get paid for it!
