Question

Hi everyone,

Could someone please explain the difference between a Cross Country race and a Marathon? Does a marathon still have rough terrain and single track like a CC would?

(Sorry bout' the english, Deutsch kann ich lesen, but can't write it)


Thanks,

RD

Hey Taco.

A CC Race lasts some rounds (like 5 to 10) on a round course.

A Marathon distance is something like 30 and 120 km ! Slight difference eh? A Marathon track still has technical ambience, like Singletrails and difficult Downhills.

 

Hey Frank,

Thanks for the answer! Cleared things right up. So I won't feel like a roadie while riding one of these Marathons, eh?

Too cool......technical ambience = real fu***n' gnarly
