Important
notice re: forest fires |
The fire danger at the time
of publication is extreme, and recreational access
to BC forest land has been restricted. So far, there
have not been any major fires in the Merritt area,
and there is every likelihood that the fire danger
will subside in time for the event to proceed as
scheduled. The organizers are monitoring the situation,
and if there is a need to postpone due to fire danger,
we will make a final announcement two weeks prior
to the event. If the event must be postponed, any
teams that are unable to make the new date will
have their entries refunded in full. |
Features & Benefits |
The smoothest and best of
the Merritt area roads, central in-town service,
generous service breaks, time for service crews
to spectate. Should be an all-around fun event!
- Convenient in-town Service Area
- Relaxed schedule including a 1 hour lunch break
- Compact route with smooth roads (no "Asteroid
Field", we promise!)
- No dead-end stages
- 120 Km Special Stage Distance, 280 Km Total
