STOKED ON ALL THE FAST YOUTH OUT THERE!

Let’s continue to encourage the next generation to race and see what we love about cycling and gravel. Race registration for all youth 18 and under racing the 18-Mile is FREE courtesy of Security Credit Union. Youth race registration will remain open even if the event sells out.
The 1st place boy and girl in the 18 mile youth race categories will be crowned the “Youth National Gravel Champion” and receive a custom Primal Wear champions jersey and will be recognized during the awards.

Additionally, we are continuing the YOUTH TEAM COMPETITION for the 18 mile race, sponsored by Security Credit Union! Youths will first compete as individuals, but now they will also compete with their teammates to create a “Team competition time score” with the fastest team winning $1,000 for their organization.

HOW IT WORKS:
All youth will still register for the event and compete as an individual first.
There is $0 charge to register your youth team to compete in the competition team.
Your team name should be exactly the same across all teammates in your race registration profile.
We will build team rosters looking at individual youth registrations and matching their “team / sponsor” with your competing team competition name.

YOUTH TEAM COMPETITION SCORING  
Team competition  times will be calculated by adding up the total time of the top 5 individual finishers from your roster to create a "total team time". 
The team with the lowest total team time wins and a team competition trophy will be awarded to the winning team.
You must have a minimum of 5 racers in the same distance that finish the race to have a team competition score. There is no max for team competition racers on a team, however only the top 5 times from your roster will create your final team time scoring.
