Changes & Additions:
We have added an Intermediate SS category which will race a shorter distance than the Expert SS category.
We have also adjusted the beginner and intermediate age groups so they align, making it easier to upgrade and remain in the same age group (19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50+).
With the increasing number of junior races, we’ve broken the categories into 2 year age groups and added a 6-8 category. This will help shrink the gap between kids on the younger/older side of their respective categories. Junior categories will consist of 6-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14.
Lastly, we will again offer a discount (excluding juniors, you only pay $20 per race) when registering for the entire MBAA series before Jan. 12 2017 ($200 for 6 races + a free t-shirt). Begin by clicking on the Arizona Reg link below, then Register Now and check all 6 races, then use coupon “MBAA2017Series” at checkout.
Note:
- Start times and lap counts are subject to change
- Flagstaff & Prescott course maps are not yet available
- The team relay event will be a stand alone event this year occurring June 3, 2017
- All proceeds from the Super D will again go towards the Flagstaff Bike Organization
We look forward to seeing you out at the races in 2017!
Sincerely,
– The MBAA Board
