OCTANE MX & MTB Duathlon Aug 13-14

How OCTANE works
OCTANE brings together the best of Mountain Biking and Motocross. This is your chance to prove to your buddies that you are faster!

OCTANE is just like a traditional duathlon, except way more fun! You will line up on the start gate with your Motorcycle and do the required laps, then roll into the transition area. There you will change out of your moto gear and into your mountain biking gear, in front of the crowd! Then you will get on your mountain bike and go ride the required laps where you can practice your winners speech!

MOTO only class - ride the same moto course as the Duathlon.
This will be scored in the same way as the moto portion of the OCTANE Duathlon. You will be assigned laps in an attempt to get one 30 minute moto. The top 3 finishers will receive special MOTO only awards.

OCTANE is designed to be a ton of fun and bring together our two favorite sports, Motocross and Mountain bikes.

Solo riders will compete in both events by starting on the Grand Prix style motocross track first, then after completing their designated laps they transition into their mountain bike gear and do the mountain bike course.

Team riders will only do one of the events and will "hand off" from motocross to the mountain biker without needing to transition.

Cahuilla Creek Motocross Park has FREE overnight camping on site the night before the race.
$10 gate fee for all moto racers.

Awards:
100% PRO OCTANE Duathlon PAYOUT must be able to provide proof of a current pro membership for either Moto or Mtn bike. Pro Payout is to the top 3 riders if less than 10 total or top 5 if 10 or more.

Custom made awards for OCTANE.
We award for top 3 finishers in each class if less than 10 in the class.
We award for top 5 finishers in each class if 10 or more riders in a class.
