CIRC follows the Canadian Rules of Racing as it pertains to indoor racing format.  For more information about the race click here.  

Race Format:   All races will be held on new Concept 2 Model D Ergometers using PM5 monitors connected into 32 lanes for simultaneous racing in each category.  Heats may be held if more than 32 entries in one category, however all results will be tabulated across the category to award medals.  Results will be displayed using the Time-Team Race Platform online and on the overhead screen placed in the centre of the arena for spectators at the PFFC venue.  Click here for more info on Rules & Race Format.
