Coal Cross – Sept 29th

The furthest race north on Vancouver Island is legendary. The first Comox Valley race at the Hostel and Puntledge was 75 min for 1st place and still stands at 6th place for most DNF’s % in a race! That race was won by Troy Woodburn and 2nd place was a world cup MTB and Olympic racer Andreas Hestler. Well Andreas will be back this weekend racing at Coal Cross for the first time since 2006 and only his 4th Cross on the Rock Race. The difference this time will be it will be a family race day with his son making his COTR debut in the Launch category!

Registration is OPEN until 6:00 Saturday night. Then it is CLOSED. So do NOT leave it until 5:59pm on Saturday as you will not get registered!

The Course: Some slight modifications to last year’s course are in the works, but expect a fast and mostly flat course for race #2 of the Muc Off – COTR season. Village Park is hosting us again with one of the best COTR courses, local sponsors: Biblio Taco, Blue Toque, Trail Bicycles, and Easton/Raceface will be supporting our event with great prizes along with our series sponsors.

This event supports the Trail Bicycles youth race team as well.

The weather forecast looks good, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all there.

You only need to pick up a number if you have not raced in race #1 OR if you lost your race number (Bring $5 cash for a replacement)

Team Tents

Team tents will be located along the fence opposite the BMX track. There will not be room for parking next to the tents, so drop your tent off and then head back to the main parking lot.

Parking

Village park has a fairly large parking lot near the BMX track. There is also plenty of parking around the park on Dunsmuir Ave and on 6th St.
