Marshaling duties will be on the Saturday for each race from 08h30 to 13h30. We understand that those who volunteer to marshal also have children participating. We have introduced a new system where we will divide the marshals into shifts of 2 hours each to accommodate this situation. We encourage you to please volunteer for both the services of registration and marshaling to make these events possible.

 

Set-up duties will mainly be the Friday before the race - assistance is needed to assemble the start and finish areas, sponsorship branding and final track demarcation. The process will begin at 09h00 on the Friday morning however, should you wish to volunteer you are welcome to arrive at any point during the day.

 

Shani Morton has volunteered to organise the schedules for both registration and marshaling duties. Please contact her on shani.morton6@gmail.com or 082 442 1731.

 

Bryan Strauss will be coordinating the set-up. Please contact him at bryanstrauss@telkomsa.net or 084 444 3659.

Thanks guys.

 

Rory Van Zyl got first place, just under 2 minute lead at the end.

 

The course was absolutely incredible this weekend. A perfect XC course. Long single track climbing with just enough space for planned overtakes and with incredible descents. The next round is at the same venue, I cant wait.

 

Check out the pictures from the event here http://wpmtb.co.za/wp-xco-3-photo-gallery/

keep going on in this fashion & you'll be the WP XCO Champ come end of the season. You already leading the points standing by a country mile.
