Tenner 4: Hartland Alley Kat
This Tenner is not your typical enduro race, it's an Alley Kat scavenger hunt style race! No route will be released prior to the event, and you will receive your check point manifest on race day!
Here is how it works:
Riders will arrive and check in. At race start all riders will be given a manifest listing all required checkpoints located throughout the Hartland Mountain Bike Park.
Racers will have 5 minutes to plan their ideal route to get to each checkpoint. Knowing the park well acts as a big advantage!
Volunteers stationed at each checkpoint will mark your progress
You can race alone or in teams. If you are racing in a team, each team member registers individually. Just make sure you all use the same team name when signing up!
Choose your adventure: Short Course (3 checkpoints) or Long Course (5 checkpoints)
What to bring:
A mountain bike: full suspension or hardtail. No gravel bikes, checkpoints are on mountain bike trails!
A phone with Trailforks downloaded — helpful if you get turned around! Download free here
Water + snacks
