The VIHSS is proud to be hosting a full race series for Kids!
We’ve hosted standalone kids races in the past, but we’ve recently introduced a bunch of new classes, for pee-wees & kids where they can compete at each race and accumulate overall season points for a championship finish, just like in the adult classes!
In addition to the regular kids’ classes, we now also have a girls’-only class and a women’s beginner class too! Each of these classes will race the C-loop, which is not as long and remote as the B-classes, but will still be challenging and fun!
The C-classes will race on the Saturday of the race weekend.

Classes:
| Level | Class | Description | Race Time | Rider requirements | Bike specs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | Peewee Beginner | These riders are new to racing or to riding on trail and unable to pick up their own bike and start it themselves. Parents or guardians are able to follow their racer | 1 lap or 20 minutes | 6 years or under | Max tire size: 10″ front & rear |
| C | Peewee Intermediate | These riders are unable to pick up their own bike and start it themselves. They may have been riding for a year, or picked it up quickly. Parents or guardians are NOT ALLOWED to follow their racer | 30 mins | 7 years or under | 50cc 2T / 110cc 4T Automatic Clutch Max: 12″ rear tire |
| C | Peewee Expert | These riders have a little more experience riding and a year or two of racing under their belt. They should be able to pick up their own bike. They are 12 years old or under and ride a small bike with an automatic clutch as indicated in the bike requirements for this class. | 45 mins | 12 year or under | 50cc 2T / 110cc 4T Automatic Clutch Max: 12″ rear tire |
| C | Kids Beginner | This class is ideal for kids who are in their first year with manual clutch, and/or may be newer at riding trail. | 45 mins | 12 year or under | 112cc 2T / 230cc 4T No big bikes |
| C | Kids Intermediate | These kids have experience using a manual clutch, riding trails and some racing. | 1 hour | 16 year or under | 112cc 2T / 230cc 4T No big bikes |
| C | Kids Expert | These kids have riding or racing experience. This class has the longest race time at 1.5 hours. | 1.5 hours | 16 year or under | 65cc+ |
| C | Jr. Girls | Girls over 14 should race in the Women’s Beginner class, or if they have more experience and can race the full B course, Women’s Amateur or Women’s Intermediate may be a more suitable choice. | 45 mins | 14 years or under | 112cc 2T / 230cc 4T No big bikes |
| C | Women’s Beginner | This is an approachable and fun class for women and girls to get started in racing. If you want to race, but feel like the full race course may still be too much, give this class a try! This class races on the course that the older kids use, rather than the full A or B enduro loop. The kids loop sticks closer to the staging area and if you run into an issue, there will likely be help nearby. | 1 hour | 12 years + | 65cc+ |
