Beat The Chair

07 March 2026 | 11:00am Start 

Think you’re quick? Think your crew can keep up? 

Join us for Beat The Chair the downhill showdown where the lift is your biggest competition. 

This isn’t just a race against other teams. It’s a race against the clock… and a chair that won’t slow down. 

Event Details: 

• Course: Downhill (Intermediate/Advanced riders only) 
• Teams: Two riders per team — Male, Female or Mixed Gender 
• Plate Pick Up & Briefing: from 10am 
• Race start: 11am 
• Duration: Up to 2 hours or until all teams are eliminated 

How it works: 

• Teams start by loading onto their assigned coloured chair. 
• Complete laps and re-load the same chair each time. Miss it and your team is out. 
• The chair gradually speeds up, so teams must ride faster laps to keep up. 

Goal: 

Survive for the full 2 hours or outpace the chair to officially Beat The Chair.

Registration:

Each team member needs to register against their name, ensuring your Team Name is the same for both team members.
