Frequently Asked Questions

How does the series points system work?

Every race in the Orbital Crit Series counts toward your cumulative series points - your placement in each event matters, whether you're fighting for the podium or grinding to stay competitive. The rider with the highest total points across all races in your category will be crowned the series champion at the end of the season.

What categories are available to race?

The Orbital Crit Series offers separate point standings for Adult Men, Adult Women, and Junior divisions, ensuring competitive racing at every level. Each category has its own championship title and prize opportunities.

What makes the Xenia course technically challenging?

Can I race multiple weeks if I miss an event?
