Twelve Hours of Cumberland Race/Relay - June 21, 2008

The Twelve Hours of Cumberland is a 12 hour mountain bike race/relay on the trails of Cumberland. Laps are short and fast at around 1/2 an hour for the average rider with the lap point being the # 6 Mine Park behind the Cumberland Recreation Centre. This is also where registration will be held from 7-8am on the morning of the event with the race to start following registration.

The race/relay runs from 8am-8pm (no lights required). You can enter SOLO or in teams of 2 or 4. Winners will receive a Scott Beardsley Pottery mug.

We will have a free BBQ going with salads and donuts for participants and volunteers but you should come prepared with your own food and beverage.

The cost is $35/person. Note - all racers must be members of a GRMBA affiliated club.”
