A beginner’s class will be offered at most races on a portion of the course as decided by the race organizer. Beginners will include those with little or no previous race experience — race organizer has discretion to decide when someone has moved beyond the beginner category. Beginners may register as late as the morning of the race, and will pay a $5 entry fee, sign a waiver, and pay a $5 insurance fee if not a valid ACA member. There are no series points for beginners’ classes.
