Ride notes
The MTB Champs will comprise three events – cross country (XCO), an Enduro stage (End) and a short Criterium race (Crit). A weighted points system is awarded for each event and a combined total determines the overall winner. If there is a point tie, your XCO placing will be the decider.
Course descriptions
Full details of the course descriptions are available in the Event Manual available via the [Event Details] button above.
Championship Notes: (Club and College Sport Wellington)
This is essentially two championships being run in the same set of races, with two sets of eligibility criteria.
To be a PNP Club Champion, you must be a PNP Club Member at the time of racing. Additionally you must be registered in the OPEN Men/Women category - unless you are still in college.
To be awarded a College Sport Wellington medal, you must be enrolled in a Wellington Region college. This covers Wellington, Hutt Valley and Kapiti colleges. College riders must enter within their respective age groups to compete for an age group title. Ages are taken as at 31 Dec 2026. As an example, a 16yo rider turning 17 later this year must enter the U19 category (not U17).
We will compare any Club + College riders to the Open Men/Women winners to see if they have better times/points and can be awarded the PNP Club Champion
