The Spring XC @ Fair Hill

Date: Sunday, April 28th
Rain Date: Saturday May 25th

Racing Age  – for all racers including Juniors – Racing Age is determined by your age on December 31st of the current year. To explain –  for classes like Under 19, the racer CANNOT turn 19 in the current race year.  Same for Under 15, the racer CANNOT turn 15 in the current year. Parents – please take note of this when registering your juniors for races.

 

Race is light rain or shine only. Refunds are ONLY available to those who purchase the optional refund insurance.
NO INSURANCE = NO REFUND if we have to postpone or cancel the event.

 In the event of postponement, an announcement will appear on the MASS website by 6:00pm, Saturday April 27th

Fair Hill has instituted an additional $3 per racer fee. This is in addition to the regular permit fees required for Fair Hill, and as a result we have added the $3 fee to the cost of registration.

Proceeds of this race will go directly to the Delaware Interscholastic Cycling League (NICA) to advance critical programmatic areas and league operations to grow our reach to youth in key communities throughout Wilmington, Newark, Middletown and Milford, Delaware.  We are excited and very grateful for the opportunity to be involved and help get more kids on bikes!
 

MASS Race Rules can be found HERE. Please review them.
