Courses will vary from month to month but are described as "Courses will consist of Single-track, Fire Roads, Natural Obstacles, Technical Sections, Some routes may have Pedal Sections, The trails in this park have Steep Sections and lots of Elevation, Most trails will favor a Medium Range Bike and not a Ski Resort DH Rig.

There will be medals for top finishers in each group, money for top 3 fastest times each race and plaques for series winners (5 deep).
