Passing

All racers should be aware of their surroundings at all times. This is especially important when being overtaken by a faster rider. If you have been caught by another rider, make an effort at the soonest reasonable location to move over slightly and allow the faster racer to pass. Once the pass has been made, check to make sure more riders aren’t coming and then continue on. Failure to move out of the way of a faster rider may result in an aggressive pass that may pose a danger to you and the other racer.

MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN

In the event of a mechanical breakdown, the racer is required to move his machine as far off of the racing line as possible. If repairs are possible, the racer may attempt to fix his machine using tools and parts carried with him at the start of the race. The driver should also indicate to other racers who may be coming up behind him that he is uninjured and ok. A “thumbs up” gesture is a typical indication used. Other racers coming up on the broken down racer are asked to relay the drivers race number and approximate location to the next race official they come across on the race course.  It is the racers responsibility to have a tow sled or vehicle available to remove the downed sled from the race course following the completion of the race.

INJURED RIDER

In the event you come across an injured racer on the course, it is advised that you assess the situation and get assistance to the injured person as soon as possible. Typically notifying a race official in order to get the proper medical personnel to the scene is the best method, however with the wide range of conditions encountered in cross-country events other methods may be more applicable depending on the situation.

WITHDRAW/DNF

If for whatever reason you do not finish the race, it is required that you notify a race official of your situation. This is especially important when returning to the pit area. It is asked that you report to the scoring trailer immediately upon your arrival back in the pits. This will allow us to notify your crew members of your location and to also continue the race program without undue delay.
