The event takes place in what is currently a Tier 2 area.

• Government wording is that you should avoid travelling from a Tier 3 area to a Tier 2 area for such events, so please consider this before putting in your entry
• Travel for under 18’s, disabled people and educational purposes is exempt. If you are accompanying an under 18 participant as a parent / guardian from a tier 3 area, you should not take part in the event yourself and adhere to social distancing measures whilst at the event.
• Cyclo-cross is a permitted form of cycle event under COVID guidance, as per previous races this season, providing that it is handled in such a way to mitigate the COVID risks, as this event has been planned and ran in accordance with The Way Forward.
• If you are displaying any COVID symptoms or share a household or support bubble with anybody who is, this over-rides any guidance above and, of course, you must NOT attend the event.

The full guidance can be read here https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/about/article/20200512-about-bc-news-British-Cycling-Updated-Coronavirus-Guidance-0 and it is your job to understand these and to make your own decision about travelling to events.

A series of races - part of the 2020-21 NWCCA league held on private land and under the British Cycling COVID-19 guidance, and under the rules of the North Western Cyclo-cross Association rules and code of conduct.

Each event will be run with a different "host" club providing most of the logistical and organisational backup, but at the same safe, secure venue.

If the restrictions relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic change after you have entered and mean this event cannot go ahead, then we will roll your entry on to the NEXT event in this mini series. We will then also contact you to ask whether you would like to withdraw your entry, instead.

This is held under British Cycling Rules as a non ranking event - there are no National Ranking Points available in the current season.

Online entry only.  Fields will be limited at the time of selection based on the prevailing British Cycling guidance at that time on field sizes. At the time of writing, this will mean fields of no more that 100 riders per race.

There are no pits, not jet washers on site, no outside assistance by parents or guardians for our younger riders.

Full compliance with the latest social distancing measures are an absolute requirement. Riders or their parents / guardians who are in violation of this will be prevented from entering further events

There will be no spectators, and riders watching other events must only be there for safeguarding purposes, such as parents or guardians.  You will be expected to turn up no more than 1 hour before your event and leave within 30 minutes of its finish unless you are with a family member from your household who is riding in a different event to yours.
