Distance race:
Determined winner for this event is the person who can go the furthest upwind. Nitinaht lake is thermal driven. The wind touches down about 1 mile up the lake and then weakens beyond that point so the person who makes it the furthest wins. Beach start.

Border Cross:
This year to make this event more exciting we decided to make the course bigger and do a beach start with everybody goes at once. The top 5 riders to do the most amount of laps in 45 minutes will move on to a shortened course to race against each other

Throw Down:
