The Junior and U17 riders are just about to start

 

Junior Men at 9am (MTN) will do 4 laps

U17 Men at 9:01 (MTN) will do 3 laps

Junior Women at 9:05am (MTN) will do 3 laps

U17 Women at 9:06 (MTN) will do 2 laps

 

We will do our best to provide updates for all categories but with 4 groups on course at once it can get a bit difficult

 

A note of thanks out to all the volunteers who have given up their Saturday to act as marshals and in other capacities.  A special thank you to the group of Olympic XC Skiers who are out there today too.
