Cross Country Short Course
**The XCC event is only open to Canada Summer Games potential athletes**
Join the Cycling Association of Yukon on Saturday, May 17th for the first of two events in our Cross Country Mountain Bike spring series.
An XCC (Cross-Country Short Course) mountain bike race is a fast-paced, tactical event with a short, relatively easy circuit that riders complete multiple times. It's designed to be a high-intensity, explosive race with a duration of around 20-25 minutes.
This event will start and end at the Dirt N Soul Bike Park (Mt. Mac Skills Park)
Male athletes will complete 6 laps of a 0.93 course starting at 10:00 am
Female athletes will complete 4 laps of the same course starting at 10:45 am
Cross Country Olympic

An XCO (Cross-Country Olympic) mountain bike race is a mass start even where riders complete multiple laps of a technical, challenging course.
This event will start and end at the Dirt N Soul Bike Park (Mt. Mac Skills Park)
Male athletes will complete 6 laps of a 3.13 km course starting at 10:00 am
