Each lap will include the Begbie Falls FSR, Hemlock Groove, Yew R Here, and the new lower connector trail that was completed last fall. The first lap will be different than the 2nd and 3rd laps (which are the same). Lap one is 5.5 km while laps 2/3 are 3.25km each. Total climbing for the 12km race course is about 300m. Expect the fastest riders to complete the race in under 50 minutes. You are welcome to do only one lap (or two laps) but you will be ranked behind anyone who does more laps than you. If the course map is confusing take a look at this map with the GPS track on it which allows you to follow the course from start to finish.
