When: September 17-18, 2022
Where: UNC Outdoor Education Center
Who: Collegiate and non-collegiate juniors and adults
What: An awesome mountain biking race weekend: XCO, Downhill, Short Track, College Team Relay
Why: Have fun and support the UNC Cycling Club, the OEC, +Dirt and First Flight Devo
This is a USAC event and participants must have a valid USAC license. You can purchase a one-day license during registration, but also note that annual junior licenses are free. Go to usacycling.org to sign up for an annual license.
Parking: There is limited parking at the OEC parking lot and on Saturday the XC race runs through this parking lot. Please be mindful of races in progress between 9am and 3pm on Saturday. A simpler option would be to park at the UNC General Administration parking lot of Raleigh Rd. This requires a short walk or ride to the start finish area.
Start/Finish: Located at the picnic pavilion which is located on the opposite side of the tennis courts from the OEC parking lot. The XC race will be coming up the paved path that wraps around the tennis courts from the start/finish so be mindful of racers on course Saturday morning. There is a sidewalk that will take you around the right side of the tennis courts to the start/finish area.
Team Tents - if you would like to setup a team tent you can do so near the start/finish area. You can drive down to drop off your tent but must do so before 8:30 as the road to the start/finish area will be part of the XC race loop so unavailable between 8:30 and 3:30.

Notes:
- We will be doing Series Awards which will be scored as combined finish place for XCO, STXC, and downhill. The lowest total wins and ties will be broken by finish position in the STXC race. Downhill will use your place in the overall standings for all riders to account for riders racing downhill in a different category from their XCO/STXC category
- All collegiate events are scored separately from category events.
- Categories may be split or further combined based on turnout.
- Exact schedule is tentative and subject to change, please check back here for updates.
- Same day registration will be allowed, please bring exact cash or plan to use paypal or venmo. But please pre-register as that will make things easier for everyone.
- We have a limited edition race t-shirt that will be for sale. First come first serve. $20 each, cash please.
You can register for all three events in the series at the discounted rate of $44
