Maxiavalanche

The program for each Maxiavalanche stage: after free practice on Friday and Saturday mornings, a qualifying round on Saturday afternoon, with line-starts in waves of 70 to 100 riders, enables the riders to be divided into their level groups: Maxiavalanche Elite for the top 100, Challengers for the next 100, and Amateurs! On Sunday, two race heats will be held to decide the winner of the race!
