Competition Details & Regulations

1. Cyclo Xiwuqi, Speedy Xiwuqi and the Xiwuqi MTB Classic are personal cycling challenges - with timing via electronic chip - designed for non-professional and recreational cyclists. The event is open to everyone but promotes amateur, or non-professional, cycling. This means that professional cyclists, or former professionals who have retired from pro cycling less than one year before the date of our event, can only take part in the races “out of competition”, i.e., they will not feature in the result list no receive any prizes. These cyclists are also expected not to influence the outcome of the competition and restrict themselves to defensive riding.（Definition of a ‘professional cyclist’: A professional cyclist is a person whose name features on the latest official team list of a UCI licensed World Tour, Pro Continental or Continental Team, or an ELITE MTB team or UCI MTB team. The team rosters and names of riders are available on the website of the UCI, the International Cycling Federation. There can therefore be no discussion. Note that top amateur riders who are hired as occasional guest riders for any of the aforementioned team categories are not considered professionals and can therefore compete)

2. Fair play is the order of the day: riders who are seen conducting unsporting behavior towards others will get a time penalty and/or will be disqualified from the event by the Race Jury. This includes pushing or pulling slower people uphill. Pushing or pulling will be penalized by minimum 1 hour for the first infringement for both riders in question.

3. Each participant must read through these full competition regulations and guidelines. By starting a race, the participant acknowledges and accepts the competition regulations.

4. Each participant must register online before the event.

5. All four cycling competitions at the 2025 Xiwuqi event offer points for the KOG ranking. You can read the KOG competition regulations here.

6. Participants are personally responsible to ensure their bicycle, gear and other equipment are fit for the task.

7. Triathlon or TT handlebars are NOT allowed for safety reason.

8. E-bikes are NOT allowed. Any kind of electronic, battery-charged or other mechanical aids on any part of the bicycle is forbidden. People caught cheating against this rule may be banned for life from Nordic Ways events. The Organization Committee (OC) reserves the right to check bikes before the start. Footpeg, locks, etc. shall all be removed before the start of the event.

9. Wearing a helmet is mandatory for each participant. No helmet, no start!

10. Number bibs & bike plates: must be collected at the Race Office in the Xiwuqi Hotel and worn during each race. No bike plate/number bib=no result! Follow the instructions for the correct placement of the bike plat (with timing chip). Otherwise, there will be a 10-minute time penalty.

11. Participants are responsible to bring their own spare parts for any mechanical or bicycle-related issue (e.g. to handle punctures or chain issues).

12. In addition to ‘mechanical doping’, any rider caught possessing or taking drugs banned by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) will be disqualified from the event and potentially banned for life from Nordic Ways events. If you must take a banned product for medical reasons, please let the race director know in advance of the event providing a TUE or other proof that clearly states you must use the product during the event on medical grounds.

13.Race start protocol: participants will start the race from their assigned starting block. This starting block must be adhered to. Participants who start in the wrong block will receive a time penalty of fifteen (15) minutes. 

• Block A: Road Bike participants 

• Block B: MTB participants 

• Block C: MTB Short Distance (25km race only)

14. Participants who wish to change race category can do so until maximum 30 minutes before the race start. They should come personally to the race jury tent at the starting line to make the change. Participants who decide to change race category during the race itself will be automatically ranked as ‘DNF’ in the result list.

15. Mandatory Hydration: For Cyclo Xiwuqi, Speedy Xiwuqi and the Xiwuqi MTB Classic, each participant must carry with him at least one 500ml bottle of water or energy drink. Race officials will check before the start!

16. Aid stations: there will be several stations with water, energy drink & snacks in each race. Nevertheless, be as self-sufficient as possible and always have 1 water bidon (see also point 13) and an extra energy bar in your pocket.

17. Participants must obey all orders and indications of the race director and/or his assistant, and any official marshals or volunteers along the race courses.

18. Course marking: Participants must follow the course as marked by the Organizing Committee (OC). Course marking always overrules GPX maps as on any day, emergency route modifications may occur. Please take note of the colour codes for each race:

• Speedy Xiwuqi-70KM Road/MTB Bike: Yellow

• Cyclo Xiwuqi-123KM Road Bike: Yellow

• Xiwuqi MTB Classic-79km: Red

• Xiwuqi MTB Classic-25km: White

19. Except official event cars and media cars, no cars are allowed to follow the participants during the races for security reasons. Any “team cars” are therefore also not allowed to follow riders in the race.

20. Even though the race course is expected to be kept traffic free by local authorities, expect the unexpected, watch out for any potential cattle and follow standard traffic regulations by keeping to the right side of the road and stopping for red traffic lights.

21. Checkpoints & Cut-Off Times - There will be a minimum speed requirement and thus cut-off times at check points for each race.

The cut-off times are applied upon your EXIT out of the checkpoint, not your entry.

Each participant is expected to be aware of these cut-off times because we must stop you if you are too late. If you refuse to stop, you will be entirely self-responsible and you might run into difficulties with local authorities, who are setting clear regulations for our event. Also, all these checkpoints must be passed by each participant. No passage at a checkpoint, as well as any other kind of shortcutting will result in disqualification from the day’s competition. Note again that participants going off the official course will be self-responsible for any risk or injury occurring during this time.

22. Results & Award ceremony - A prize giving ceremony will be held after the races. Participants eligible for a prize are required to check the event timetable and remain at the Event Arena to collect their prize on the podium stage.

23. Athletes who wish to appeal to the competition (including but not limited to objections to personal results, violations, etc.) must submit their appeal requests to the race jury at the finish line within one hour after their individual completion. When appealing, a written appeal request must be submitted, clearly stating the content of the appeal, signing the name and time, and a deposit of 200 yuan for the appeal must also be paid. If the appeal is ruled valid, the deposit will be fully refunded; otherwise, it will not be returned. The completion of the three processes of submitting an application in a timely manner, submitting materials immediately and paying the deposit right away is regarded as the beginning of the appeal. The appeal of the competition adheres to the general principle that the party making the appeal shall provide relevant supporting materials. Both the appellant and the party being complained against should prepare their own supporting materials. After the referee team reviews the supporting materials of the appellant or the party being complained against, verifies the CP point records provided by the timing group, and checks the supervision records of the mobile referees on the track, the final arbitration award will be made. Once the award is made, The complainant or the respondent must accept. When the appeal request of the chief complainant involves the podium results and rankings, and if the appeal result has not yet been released but it is also the awarding time period, in order to ensure the integrity of the event, the awarding process will continue to be carried out first based on the results provided by the timing group and signed by the race director. After the appeal result is out, the appeal will be successful and valid. If it involves changing the award results or the winners, the event organizing committee will notify the winners separately, exchange the prize money and prizes, and make a public announcement.

24. Race results will be posted on-site at the finish arena, and online later on the day.

25. Each finishing participant will receive an official finisher certificate and medal.

27. DNF - If you retire from a race, whatever the reason, please either try to make it to the next aid station or calmly wait for our bicycle pick-up trucks and ‘DNF bus’ following the last riders on the course. In any case, communicate your bib number to our event staff.
