What type of event is this? | The Dusk to Dark is a marathon style event. The race course is a set loop ridden over a fixed time period (3 hours). The length of the loop for this event will be between 6 - 7 km’s. There is no set number of laps to complete, the only limit to how many, depends on the stamina and endurance of the rider/s. Both Solo riders and Team options are available, with varying categories - refer to Entryboss page.
This style of event has a mass start, with riders encouraged to self seed based on their capability. Riders will however compete with others in the same category, with the rider / team with the most laps in allocated time the winner for each category.
The course will close after the designated riding time (in this case 3hrs) and no more riders can commence a new lap after this time. Riders on course will have time to finish their last lap.
There is no requirement to ride for the entire time; although one lap is required for each rider to be given a result. Riders that withdraw or choose to stop before the cut off time must report to the Race HQ trailer to hand in their race plate
This is an event for all ages and abilities. |

If I don't have lights can I still enter and ride in this event? | This event starts in the afternoon and finishes in the dark, meaning if you want to ride for the entire event lights are essential. However if you only want to ride for an hour and half or so, you'll get away with no lights. For safety reasons, riders will be removed from the race if they do not have lights after approx. 5.00pm |
