Previous organizers have returned full of energy to present the popular Sunshine Coast Rat race. Olympic XC on May 9, Downhill May 10.
The May 9th Race will bring us back to our roots of 7 years ago with a lap race featuring some of best single track not touched by the marathon race. This will be a race for everyone with a cash purse up for the Pro/Elites, and races for those as young as 10 years old.
May 10th will be the annual downhill race featuring the Mach Chicken DH course. The race will be limited to 150 riders again, so register early as it always fills up. A waitlist will be established, and no, even if you ride the course naked, you aren't going to jump the queue.
Aug 9th, a new date, is the leg burner, lung bustin' 46+ km course you have all come to love. or hate. But since you now have an extra 3 months to train, don't be surprised with a few new additions. Rod didn't get his nickname "Sadistic little B@$^#& for nothing! The race will be capped again at 300 riders. Minimum age for this course is 15 and only the marathon loop will be offered.
