Introduce OCCRA’s Littles to the Racing Scene
Do you have some little ones chomping at the bit to get on the track? Well we have some classes just for your beginning racer! These classes are available in a 8-race series held on Saturday evenings (check schedule posters for specific times as times may vary due to available light).
Build Skills and Make Friends
The Littles XC series offers four classes to help your kiddo get used to the racing scene and build skill.

Hard work and effort pays off. Littles XC are eligible for race awards and season awards.

Class placement and promotions:
For the most part these classes are aged base so you would simply add your child in the class that fits their age. You can always ride up a class but you can’t ride down. Example: Let’s say someone has a 3 year old that is as fast as the 5 year olds they are able to move that child up to a higher class to get more experience and compete.
We will not move kids from their age group but skill classes will have a promotion structure. The 16” ebike A and B are skill based and we are going to monitor overall times in these 2 classes and do our best to have 2 classes with a pretty even amount of kids with the appropriate skill levels.
#️⃣Numbers:
This will be open numbers for any class! You can choose a number as long as it is not taken. With that said we are doing our best to let the kids who raced last year keep the number they had. If you choose a number that someone had last year we will verify with them to make sure they are not wanting the number before we release it. In order to help this run smooth we would like you to work with Jay over the next few days to lock in your number and class. Go ahead and message him the class you intend to enter into and the number you would like! He will check the list and reply with your official class and number. Remember, last years kids will have number priority so if there are any duplicates for new racers it will be a first come first serve on who gets it!
