BARRI CADE S The entire course is taped off from top to bottom to ensure that riders know course boundaries at all times as well as to protect spectators from accidentally wandering into danger.


AL CO H O L Tuf Rack wishes to promote a safe and healthy environment for all of those taking part in its events. As such, alcoholic beverages are strictly forbidden while the racecourse is open. This applies for both the course itself as well as in the pit and parking lot areas. This rule will be strictly enforced and those caught in violation will be asked to remove themselves from the event grounds.

STA R T/ F I N I SH A R EA S Both the start and finish areas will be clearly marked and will allow room for riders staging at the start line and slowing down after the finish. Areas will also be taped off to avoid spectators wandering into danger.

TEC H N I C A L A SSI STA N C E R EG U L A TI O N Riders will not be able to perform maintenance on their equipment anywhere on the racecourse, this includes the start and finish areas. If a rider suffers a mechanical failure while on the course, they are asked to walk their bicycle off of the course and perform maintenance in the pit or parking lot areas. This is due to concerns of both safety and pacing throughout the event.
