Outline of the EWS100
- Race the full EWS course on the EWS weekend
- Race for an EWS100 podium
- No pre-qualification needed
- Racers have a specific time window to complete each stage and an overall time to complete the course - but no individual pre-assigned start times or fixed start intervals.
- Flexible start format allows racers to select / adjust their start position during the day. Pair up with your friends and teammates - even if they are in different categories. Avoid getting stuck behind the same rider for the entire day - overtake a rider and stay ahead of them for the rest of the race.
- Same categories and minium age (17) as the EWS plus the addition of a Men Master 50+.
- Simplified rules. Outside assistance permitted.
- EWS Members are eligible to collect rankings points - so they can secure a spot on the Reserved List and a guaranteed entry into the EWS the follwoing season. Any EWS members registered for the EWS100 who accumulate sufficient 2021 EWS Global Rankings points in advance of the race can apply to upgrade from the EWS100 to the EWS (space permitting)
