The VTX by OTB Race is a mountain bike race organized by Vertilux and the Oleta Trail Blazers. This race is meant for anyone able to ride a bike, although there will be two levels of race to fit the experience and cabilities of all the members of the Vertilux family.
There are two levels:
Competitive-Skilled Level & Leisure Level.
Competitive-Skilled Level:
This level is only for people with previous experience in mountain biking -off-road riding-, people in good physical shape and able to ride at a good pace. Experience is a must because the route includes areas with steep descents, jumps, and technical zones. This group will leave 10 minutes earlier than the Leisure group and will be timed. Three winners will be awarded.
Leisure Level:
This level is suitable for anyone who can ride a bicycle. This group will not be timed, as the main idea is to enjoy the ride. Participants will receive "completion” rewards.
When registering for the race also keep in mind that there are some age considerations:
Solo Riders are required to be 16 years old or above.
10-15 year old riders need to be accompanied by an adult (21 years old or more)
There is a kids trail available for riders below 10 years old.
There are different courses within the Oleta River trails for Competitive and Leisure levels. Each course will be clearly marked to avoid confusion or even accidents.
