Mansfield Outdoor Center, Mansfield, Ontario
Plastiglas Ontario Cup #1 Sponsors
Overview & Schedule
Pre-reg is closed, event day registration is available on site. Online registration closes midnight April 25th and absolutely no full series registrants after that date. Event day registration is available on site after that date.
Individuals registered for the full Ontario Cup Series will also get an event t-shirt.
We will be able to update your OCA license number automatically once you receive it.
The Course
With southern exposure and sandy soil, frost-laiden mud-fests are an unlikely proposition. A great network of singletrack, climbs and a spectator-friendly route cap off a great early season course.
Pre-Riding
As Mansfield is no longer an operational riding center, and because they have school groups in during the day, pre-riding is limited. Pre-riding starts at 4pm on Friday, April 27, and is open all day Saturday, with pre-riding fees of $10 including HST applicable on both days.
Mansfield Breakfast - morning of the race
Pancakes, sausages, coffee or tea wil be available at Mansfield the morning of the event.
Event Requirements
9:00 am races – Citizen Permit ($45 adult, $35 17-18 youth, $30 16 and under) or OCA Licence OR one day permits are available on site for $12 ($8 for 14 and under).

1:30 pm races – OCA licence is required for all categories.

What race category is right for me to start in?
9:00 am Beginner Men's and Women's categories are for riders without much off roading mountain bike experience and/or racing experience.
10:00 am or 11:45 am (depending on age) Try-An-Ocup or Sport Level Categories are for riders with a good mountain bike experience base and probably some experience racing.
1:30 pm Expert/Elite Level Racing is something to shoot for, but you can't start in these categories.
