***IMPORTANT INFORMATION***

Bush riders 6 hour battle of the clubs cross country

The cost to enter the race is $150 for a team and $90 for an iron-man/iron-woman/and iron vets 40+

Due to the race being a senior only race, all riders must be 15 years old + and on a senior licence.

Day licences will be available to those who will need them.

The club team class requires both members of the team to be a part of the same club to earn points for their club towards the overall club trophy.

A club may have as many affiliated teams as they like but at the end of the day the two highest placing teams from each club will score the points for their club. If you're not entering the club team class, you do not have to be affiliated to a MNZ club to enter the race.

Camping will be available for those who would like to camp. The location is the Pongaroa camping grounds (25 Makomako street, Pongaroa).

The Pongaroa Squash Club is right next door and will be available for showers (may incur a small cost, we are waiting to hear), as well as the Pongaroa Pub also not far down the road which puts on a good feed.This is only 10 minutes away from the location of the ride so this is ideal for the out of towners.

Online Entries will be available soon on Silver Bullet. Please if you can enter prior to the event but on the day entries will be accepted. (Cash only please)
