The organization of the NORTH FACE TROPHY BIKE has the pleasure to announce a new, big change resulting in each participant taking full advantage of the event in the following manner :

COMPETITORS: Like in all the Grand Tours, the first stage will be a prologue, an 18 km time trial around Arenal Volcano in completely private and beautiful trails; a dream route with all the ingredients of mountain biking. The second stage, the "Queen Stage", is one of the most beautiful routes in Costa Rica. A route from Arenal that will take you 74 km to Monteverde and over the famous "Alpe d'Huez" of Costa Rica, Rio Chiquito. And to finish, the third stage, will be a 108 km Monteverde to Playa SAMARA and through a course that dominates all of Guanacaste. A valid license is required to participate in this event. Categories: Elite (male and female), Master A, B, C 

ADVENTURER: Regular mountain bike participants that don't wish to do the event as a competition will take advantage of the courses to discover the beautiful landscapes. This is a true challenge opened to all mountain bike aficionados that look for the unforgettable experience and that wish to challenge themselves or to use as training. The first stage will be a 30 km circuit in trails completely closed to the public around Arenal Volcano. The second and third stages are identical to the those of the COMPETITOR. No license required. The event will start 30 minutes after that of the COMPETITORS. 

RECREATION: For those that don't have the same strength and conditioning of a racing cyclist or an adventurer can still take full advantage of the NORTHFACE TROPHY BIKE. The stages will shortened to no more than 30 km per day. No license required. The event will start 30 minutes after that of the ADVENTURERS. 

Each of the three stages begin at 7:00 am and riders are expected to reach the finish line by 1:00 pm daily. Stages include breakfast, lunch, dinner and an awards ceremony where the winners of each catergory are awarded Leader Jerseys. After the final stage, team times will be calculated to determine the overall winners of each category, dispensing a total of $5,000 in prizes and $10,000 in gifts from our sponsors.
