Keyesville Classic – All-Mountain Stage Race Rules
Disciplines: Sprint Lap, SuperD Downhill, and Classic XC (or Lite XC).
Each discipline counts equally toward the All-Mountain Stage Race (AMSR) Overall. Riders must complete every counted event in their chosen category — AMSR Classic or AMSR Lite — on the same bike to qualify for the overall.
Registration
- Riders must register specifically as an AMSR Classic or AMSR Lite competitor on RunSignUp.
- AMSR riders must compete in the same category for both the XC and SuperD Downhill events.
- No retroactive entry into the AMSR overall after Saturday registration closes.
Bike & Equipment Rules
- The Same Bike: Riders must use the same bike for every discipline in their AMSR category.
- Mechanical Issues: If a part fails, only equivalent replacement parts may be used.
- Allowed Adjustments: Tire pressure, shock/air pressure, and suspension settings may be changed between events.
Race Format
- Sprint Lap (Saturday): a short, fast lap race that opens the weekend.
- SuperD Downhill (Saturday): a timed, gravity-focused stage; times count toward the AMSR Overall.
- Classic XC / Lite XC (Sunday): the cross-country stage, at either the Classic (longer) or Lite (shorter) distance, matching the rider's AMSR category.
- Riders must start and finish every counted discipline for their AMSR category.
- A DNF, DNS, or DSQ in any stage removes the rider from the AMSR overall.
Tie-Breaking
- 100 meter Big-Ring Drag Race.
Protests
- Preliminary results are posted after each event.
- Riders have a 15-minute protest window after results are posted; if results are adjusted, updated standings will be reposted.
- After each protest period closes, all race-official decisions are final.
Sportsmanship
Above all—have fun and respect the Classic, your fellow racers, and the Keyesville trails. Course marshals and race officials have final say on the ground.
