There are 3 A/B Waves (Int. Men 15-16, 50-59 & Jr. Beg. Boys 13-14)
Changes: 
- Race age – age you will be on December 31, 2021.
- One Women’s Single Speed XC category, racing intermediate distance.
- The Marathon Women SS category remains.
- Membership will increase by $5 (Juniors $15 / Adults $25)
- This means your dollars go even further to help support the trails!
- You still get a sweet pair of socks and cool sticker.
- Memberships purchased after Nov. 1st are good through 2021.
Due to COVID-19 event size limitations, we will be moving to a 2-day format for McDowell, Estrella, White Tanks and State Champs. View our bullet point version COVID Mitigation Plan. The 2-day format will tentatively cut the one-day race waves in half and be split up Elite/Expert, Marathon, and Intermediate Men on Saturday, then Beginner Men, Intermediate & Beginner Women and Juniors on Sunday.
For the larger categories, we will be breaking you up into 25 person start waves (ie: if beginner men 30-39 has 50 sign-ups, there will be a wave A & B). Racers of both waves will be scored together. Start waves will be based on registration sign-up order for McDowell, then by overall series standing thereafter.
Training Plans: We’ve partnered with Geiger Coaching to offer specific MBAA training plans for the 2021 season. View training plans and get connected with Ryan.
