The 2022 Gauteng XCR (Relay) sponsored by AfriForum Sport offers all levels of participation and the excitement of competing in Cross Country Olympic format (XCO). Similar to XCO, XCR consists of MTB lap racing on short but carefully designed and “manicured” tracks that even cater for beginner riders. XCR is fun, safe, challenging and spectator friendly. All events hosted by XCOSA are CSA sanctioned and executed according to international regulations.
The purpose of the 2022 Gauteng XCR (Relay) sponsored by AfriForum Sport is to guide newbies into the exhilaration of XCO. Participants enter and take part solo or in teams with two to four members. Each solo rider and team must complete 8 x 5 km laps, battling it out for full honours in their respective categories. Categories range from 10 to 70-year-olds. Teams can constitute riders from similar or different genders and/or age categories. Teams with members from different age categories compete in the strongest member’s category.
