2 classes, with different tracks. Each racer gets 3 timed runs, lowest overall time for 3 completed runs wins.
- Misdemeanour - all runs of a slightly easier nature
- Felony - all runs on more technical tracks
- Felony Under 19 - Under 19 on race day.
At the end of each run, there will be an non-timed liaison stage back up to the start of the course. No shuttles. You can ride, push, crawl or carry to the top. Using a private shuttle, or using any other means to get to the start line at the top of the hill is an instant DSQ.
No practice runs on the day.
Event 2: Sufferfest Hill Climb
Your race fee also includes entry to the Sufferfest Hill Climb. Note competing in this event is optional.
The Sufferfest Hill Climb is for the truly insane. The race starts at the bottom of Jail Brake and heads all the way up. There will be no re routing around obstacles.
NO Practising the Hill Climb before the event. Practising Hill Climbs on Jail Brake before the event is an instant DSQ.
Event 3: Kids Mini D (for little rippers 12 and under)
Starting at the prison, the Mini D course will go around the prison, down the prison road, through the Duel Slalom (you choose your line), then all the way down Juvie, to finish where it meets with conviction.
The entire course is Grade 2.
Enter on the day for the Mini D - $2 only. Registration at the Prison between 11:30 and 12:30. Race starts at 1pm (or after the final starter in the enduro.).
King And Queen Of The Hill

All proceeds to Miramar Trail Project track building.
Thanks to all our participants over the last couple of years we have been able to purchase an electric wheel barrow and a rock barrow for use in Miramar and by other WMTBC track projects.
This year all funds raised will go towards the pump track. WCC are going to pay for some reworking, and we are going to look at surfacing the track after this is done. Yup that is right, tar-seal, hot mix, asphalt what ever you want to call it. We will be doing a funding application for this, but every $ we raise helps us towards this. The expected cost is going to be upwards of $50k.
Refunds & Cancellation Policy.
In the event that you are no longer able to attend (and notify us by the friday prior to the event) or the event is cancelled due to bad weather or unforeseen circumstances – we are unable to provide refunds, so instead we will credit your WMTBC account. You can use the credit to pay for future events, WMTBC membership or as a donation to Wellington trails.
