Course Rules

  • Courses/Timing must be run continuously from the start of the paddle to the end of the run. Time cannot be stopped for transitioning from one discipline to the next, or for breaks along the course.
  • Each discipline must have a net even, or positive elevation change. i.e. no net downhill runs, or bikes and no down-river only paddles (paddling downriver, then back upstream is okay).
  • 50% of bike and run courses need to be on gravel roads, or trails
