This is the endurance discipline of mountain biking, it comes in multiple formats: Olympic Cross-Country (XCO), Cross-Country Eliminator (XCE), marathon … In XCO runners make the same circuit several times ( 4 to 6km, about 1h30 of race for Elites men), this is the format chosen for the Olympic Games, hence the name “Olympic Cross-Country”. The duration of the race depends on the category concerned. The variety of terrains encountered on the course allows the expression of technical and physical skills  of the rider (management of an effort with variations of pace).

Even more spectacular, the XCE is a mix of XC and Four-cross. The circuit is shorter, the riders compete at 4 at the same time, the 2 fastest riders can participate in the next race, while the last two are eliminated!

Throughout the weekend, various animations and other shows will take place in addition to the competition. Exhibitors will also be present to present their latest products!
