The format is typically four events:-

Individual Time Trial

Riders do a single timed lap around the perimeter mountain bike track, with the fastest three riders collecting the medals.

Skills Test

Riders negotiated their way around an obstacle course on the challenging terrain of the mountain bike inner track. The fastest and cleanest (penalty per cone hit/obstacle failed) three riders collecting the medals.

Just 4 Fun

Riders are split up and given a flavour of various classic race events: Devil; 4 Cross; Team Sprint.

Handicap Race

Riders are lined up on the start line of the perimeter mountain bike track with their grid position and start delay set from the Individual Time Trial. As they are released the faster riders have to dig deep to close the gap on those ahead. The aim is that all the riders converged on the last lap. First three riders home collect the medals.
