RULES:
All riders must check in Saturday morning from 8-11:30AM and attend the rider meeting at 11:45AM. A LeMans style (running) start may be used to spread the field. All divisions will start together. Standings will be measured by number of laps completed. Riders on the same lap will be ranked by the lowest clock time at the lap / finish point. Scoring ends at the cutoff time - any lap completed after cutoff does not count! Mechanical support may be provided only in the pit/parking area. During the lap, each rider must be entirely self-sufficient. Once in the pit (not during a lap), a rider may change bikes or any equipment. Food and drink may be provided to riders only in the designated feed zone near the lap line. At least one headlight and a spare light source are required on the course after 7PM.

SOLO:
A designated solo-only pit area will be marked off and bike racks are provided. One tent or one vehicle may be placed adjacent to the solo pit area. Each rider is limited to 10' frontage along the marked pit area. Riders exiting the course for any reason must use the pit area to exit the course and return to the course for the official finish/start of a lap. Soloists may race 12 or 6 hours.

TEAM:
Team divisions are: 2 riders for Duo 6/12 Hours and up to 4 riders for 12 Hours. Relay-style exchanges will be allowed only after each full lap, at the pit area. Teams may use any strategy of rider rotation desired. Each rider must complete at least one lap.

6/12 HOURS OF WINONA 6 HOURS? 12 HOURS? Yup, you or your team can take turns in a mountain bike relay race on one of the most popular trails in the area. Or, take the ultimate challenge and go solo. Nothing beats the excitement at start time, the drama unfolding in the waning hours, or the thrill of night riding. This is one race you don't want to miss. This race is proudly chip timed with live scoring boards presented by our friends at Planet Adventure.

Help us support the Winona Lake Bike Trails and the Warsaw Winona Lake Ride Walk initiative. The proceeds from this event go towards maintaining the trails and local projects to expand awareness and access for all cyclists in the region.
