Format
Short Track :
700m (Men’s 15 mins + 3 Laps / Women’s 10 mins + 3 Laps) The Short Track format is a unique style of MTB racing! A mountain bike race similar to a criterium, riders will do multiple short laps of 700m in a short time frame of time. Get ready to burst your lungs and feel the burn in your legs as speed through the course. Very fast and definitely, very fun!
Super D :
500m 1 Lap Race Final (1-minute interval between riders) Best described as a downhill cross-country race, the Super D format packs all the thrills and exhilaration of a downhill race minus the technical dangers. The Super D is a timed event with either an individual or mass start time. A great place to get started with MTB racing – the Krankin’@ Kent Ridge Super D offers you limited climbs with fast flowing rides of only 500m. Best of all, you don’t have to be in great shape! Everyone can participate!
