Poca Go! Kids race gives 2-10 year olds a chance to explore their interest in MTB and their competitive spirit.
Organized as group starts, these short courses start and end at the Courthouse Rd. parking lot and stay on the fireroad and Gateway trails.
This race will not be timed. Places are determined in order of finish for each category/heat. Each participant will receive a bib number, sticker, and ribbon.
Sign up for the age category that the racer will be on race day. If a racer needs a challenge, they may sign up in a higher age category. Signing up for a lower age category than the racer’s age is not allowed. Each child may only sign up for 1 race.
