Practice

Official practice is at Helderberg Farm between 07h30 and 08h30 on Saturdaymorning, 2 May.

Practice will be mandatory during the official practice session for Nippers, Sprogs and Sub-Juniors.  When the mandatory practice lap has been performed, this will be demarcated on the riders’ bike board.

There will be no official practice on the Friday before the race. Should you wish to ride the track, you are required to obtain a day license from Helderberg Farm.

Photos

A professional photographer will once again be assigned to WP MTB XCO #3 at Helderberg Farm. These photographs will be published on the website after the event.

Volunteers and work crew

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.

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