The Dual Slalom event brings head-to-head individual elimination racing to the Marquette!

The Adult Races

We will see a max of 64 participants take an initial timed run down the dual slalom course. The fastest 32 times will be used to ‘seed’ riders into a position on a bracket (think NCAA tournament). This means if you don’t do well in the seeding runs, you won’t be able to race head-to-head.
For the elimination rounds, riders will match up against their opponent over 2 head-to-head runs, one on each lane of the course, with the winner (based on the fastest combined time of the 2 runs) advancing to the next round.

The Youth Races

• Competitive Youth Dual Slalom for youth aged 8-16 years old – Max of 32 registered racers will participate in the timed seeding runs. The 16 fastest youth riders will advance to the head-to-head elimination rounds. There will be a podium for girls and boys.

• Non-Competitive Youth Dual Slalom for those who want to try out the course with a single, timed run. This will be ideal for younger kids on strider bikes or those that have never raced on the course before. The gate will be dropped during this race. This race will be done head-to-head.  There will be an awards ceremony following the race, but no podium.
