Cyclocross Series - Race one

Race one of the Nelson cyclocross series features short, intense laps on varied terrain with obstacles. Competitors race against the clock for a duration of 40 minutes to an hour; the rider completing the most laps wins. Online registration closes at midnight prior to the event. Race-day registration and the briefing begin at 9am. The course incorporates trails, roads, paddocks, fences, trees, horse jumps, steps, and any other elements the organiser includes. Riders must carry or push their bikes through obstacles, creating a blend of cycling and controlled chaos. NMTBC organizes the series for enjoyable, approachable competition, welcoming new cyclocross participants. Costumes are frequently seen, and the Nelson CX events often include children's races, such as an under-10 category on shorter, simpler laps lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
