Rules of the site

The Old Port of Montreal has earned the highest rating as a family recreational site. We ask you therefore to act as you should on a family site. (i.e. Do not act like an ass, do not drink alcohol on site, act civilized please! Otherwise, you are risking not just being asked to leave, but also putting the future events on this site in jeopardy.) You MUST sign an insurance liability waiver to access the site.
General race rules:
• You must read, understand and sign an insurance liability waiver.
• You must register for the race.

• No jousting, pushing or shoving. Show good sportsmanship!

STUDDED CLASS RULES

You must have studded tires to participate in the studded class competitions. In order to race in the finals, you must win in two elimination heats: quarter, and semi, to race in the finals. If you are eliminated in a quarter or semi final (depending on the number of participants) you can still earn a spot in the finals if your team places third or higher in the relay race.

RUBBER CLASS RULES

Bicycles equipped with studded tires are not allowed in this race. (Front only or rear only studded tires may be allowed in advanced rubber class – if there are enough inscriptions for this class. Commercially manufactured studded tires, i.e. commuter tires you buy at a bike store for around $50 - $100 with less then 100 studs, may also be allowed in the advanced rubber class). Depending on the number of inscriptions, rubber class will have two heats per rider. Qualifying heats in group of four will set the start sequence for the finals time trials.
