Alongside the national level events, O-Cup series will host eight rounds of cross country racing. This includes Provincial XCO championships on 8 September at Sir Sam’s Ski & Bike. Each racers top five finish results will count towards the series overall title.
Woodnewton will host the first round of Ontario Cup racing on 5 May, just north of Toronto in Uxbridge, Ont. Racing then travels through Albion Hills, Port Hope and Kelso Conservation Area before the two national series events land in the province. Mountainview will give racers one more opportunity to tune up their race plans before Sir Sam’s hosts provincial championships in September.
