SAFETY GUIDELINES

All Competitors:

You are responsible for your own physical condition — please train appropriately for the challenge you’re taking on.
Enter at your own risk. A pre-event medical check is strongly advised.
Enduro racing is demanding. Risks include (but are not limited to): collisions with other riders, officials, spectators, trees, terrain, or vehicles; and potential for heat exhaustion or dehydration.
While every effort is made to ensure a safe and fun event, neither the organiser (MDA Group) nor event officials can guarantee safety across the full course.
All riders must attend the compulsory event briefing before their race start.
Compulsory safety equipment must be worn/used where applicable.
It’s your responsibility to ensure your bike and gear are in safe, working condition and suited to the weather and trail conditions. Bring enough food, water, and energy to get through the day.
Always stop to help an injured rider. If it’s serious, ensure other riders are warned and send someone to alert a course marshal or medic.
If you need to withdraw, tell an event official and return your timing device to the timing team at the start/finish area.
There is a strict course cut-off time. These will be released with the course.
Riders under 16 must have a guardian present on race day who has signed consent during registration.
