INSOMNIAC PRE-RIDES
Join RD Aaron the Sunday prior to race night for a day time preview of the course. Follow Aravaipa Rides social media for details. Meet times and places will be announced a few days in advance. These will be non-competitive rides, however, faster groups and slower groups will be formed if necessary. Water will be available to top off your bottles and hydrovests. Please bring your favorite trail snack and electrolytes.
The Insomniac Night Trail Ride Series consists of four night races throughout the Maricopa County Regional Parks from April through August. It's our way of escaping the summer heat while continuing to race and experience both familiar and unfamiliar trails in a different light. Choose your package and your distances and get moving with Sinister in April and end with Vertigo in August.
Whether it's under the glow of a full moon, or under a blanket of sparkling stars, we want you to join us in seizing the desert night in all it's beauty! Finishers of all 4 Insomniac Night Trail Rides this season will win an additional Insomniac finisher Maniac award.
Series Points Find out where you stack up against the competition in your respective category! We will take the top 10 male and female finishers of the 6-hour, 3-hour, Juniors and short course in each race to name our top winners. Point Breakdown First=100pts. Second=90pts. Third=80pts. Fourth=70pts. Fifth=60pts. Sixth=50pts. Seventh=40pts. Eighth=30pts Ninth=20pts. Tenth=10pts. The Nitty Gritty Series point standings are for solo riders only…no relay teams are eligible. A racer's series score will be determined by adding their combined scores from individual races. You don't have to race in all four series races, but you should. A single DNF may not count against your standing, however multiple DNF’s may do so. The Race Director has sole discretion when valuing points standings. Note that points are not shared between categories, so points scored in the 6-hour do not apply to the 3-hour, and vice versa. In the case of a tie, the tie breaker will be determined by the racers total number of 1st place finishes, then 2nd place, then 3rd and onward if necessary. All scores are final after the race director reviews the scores and final race outcome is determined. The RD has 24 hours from the finish of the final race to make final determinations of series standings.REGISTRATION
