2018 BC Premier XCM Series

Details about the new BC CUP race series will be available soon. Please stay tuned for an announcement in early 2019!

The 2018 season marks the second year of a provincial series for the cross-country marathon (XCM) discipline, the BC Premier Cross-Country Marathon Series. The marathon format has seen continued growth over recent years with competitors engaging in the endurance format across the categories in full-family affairs.

The BC Premier XCM Series consists of a series of races featuring some of BC’s top mountain bike events.

Many aspects around the format of the Marathon (XCM) style of racing differs from the cross country olympic format (XCO), for this reason there will be some slight changes and considerations in the structure and format of the XCM series.

Licensing

Riders are required to hold a BC Race licence (or UCI licence) or an out-of-province UCI license to be eligible for series points tracking and standings. Points are calculated from the results of each race, ranking riders in the series standings. Series points will be cumulative for all races, with all available points contributing to the series standings (see points table below).

Unlicensed riders will be able to purchase one-day licences and race in their selected categories; unlicensed riders will be able to win the category on the day but will not have access to series points and are therefore not eligible to become the overall series winner. Unlicensed riders results will be removed from the standings leaving the order of the licensed riders to apply to the points table below.

Points

Points for each race will be awarded to the top 75 finishers as per below points table for top 75 places, ranging from 200 points to 1 point.

In the case of a tie, the highest-placed rider in the final race will be the overall series winner.

Results will be separated for points tracking and overall series rankings.
