Ore to Shore Preferred Start List
What is a Preferred Start Position?
A Preferred Start position allows you to line up in the preferred start area just behind the starting line.
- This is intended to place the top riders at the front of the pack at the race start.
- Riders with a Preferred Start will have a number between 1 and 99 for the Hard Rock or between 2000 and 2099 for the Soft Rock.
There are no preferred starts in the Shore Rock or Junior Rock events.
Entrance to the preferred start area is based on race number only.
See you August 8th for another epic mountain bike race!
