Rules

This event is the fifth race in the Texas XC Mountain Bike State Championship Series, and TMBRA Spring XC Series Rules and Regulations apply (https://www.tmbra.org/wp/rules-and-regs/).

TMBRA race plates:

TMBRA permanent number plates will be used. If you don’t have one or have lost a previously assigned plate, you can purchase one during your online race registration process (separate question after selecting your race category).
Every race participant must utilize a 2025 TMBRA season race plate for race scoring and timing. After registering for an event, you will be asked about your season plate status. If you pre-purchased your plate through the TMBRA.org website or you picked up a plate at a previous event, then put your number in the box provided. Otherwise, select “Yes, assign a NEW plate.” if you do not already have one. A one-time $15 charge will be added to your event registration fee if you select a “yes” answer.

Number pickup/racer check-in starts at 7:00 AM on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
