Details
Cycosports and Centaurs have come together to create the 2017 Jungle Cross series, that will allow individuals to race in various MTB categories as well as a separate Cyclocross and Fatbike race category.
6 Race Days
The series will consist of 6 races that will run throughout the year on dates that do not clash with other major road or mtb cycling events. The proposed dates are:
- 12 Feb
- 23 Apr
- 9 Jul
- 13 Aug (Special Team Event)
- 24 Sep
- 12 Nov
Note: Dates may change due to clashes or poor weather conditions (haze). Each race will be confirmed and open for registration one month before. Please do let us know if there is a potential clash in the calendar.
11 National Points Categories
In 2017 there will be 16 MTB, Cyclocross and Fatbike categories of which 11 will receive points towards the 2017 National Points Series. Depending on numbers, various categories will be grouped together in various races, with potential for multiple starting waves in each race (again depending on the numbers). New and recreational riders who are not SCF licence holders can join the Sport, All Mountain and FatBike categories without a SCF licence.

The setup of the race circuit will follow UCI guidelines and include a feed zone and staging area.
Route
In 2017 we will have two courses - The Short Course and the Long Course. Well the names are boring but the courses are exciting.
Short Course
The short course is basically the 2016 course with some tweaking. It's aimed at the Cyclocross riders as well as MTB riders who are perhaps not as confident, but still want a challenge.
The setup of the race circuit will follow UCI guidelines and include a feed zone and staging area.
Long Course
The long circuit includes newly developed and improved sections of single trails, 2 new downhills with mouth watering switchbacks as appetisers.
The course is challenging enough for XC and All Mountain riders. It's more technical but still loads of fun.
Our aim is to continually develop the course and listen to the feedback of the riders.
The setup of the race circuit will follow UCI guidelines and include a feed zone and staging area.
Improved maps will follow soon.

Kids Sports Clinic
Youth (12 and Under) are invited to attend a 1 hour sports clinic conducted by SCF certified MTB coaches. After the hour session, there will also be a "fun" kids race on the top paddock / skills area. The fun races will be grouped according the numbers and ages that attend. The cost for entry is only $15 and can be booked online or 15 minutes before the start of the day's session. For full details of the Kid's Sports Clinic click here.
Prizes
2017 Jungle Cross Series Winners
At the end of the 2017 session, trophies will be allocated for the Top 3 points winners in each SCF Category where there are 3 or more points winners. Points are calculated based on the accumulated points across the 5 individual races. Unlike 2016, all 5 individual races will count.
Individual Races
For individual races we will recognise every SCF category that has 3 or more participants and do a podium presentation. As there are so many categories and numbers are unknown (this is the first year), we intend to present a "perpetual" trophy for the photo shots which is not kept by the individuals. At the end of the season, there will be trophies for the overall winners, 2nd and 3rd of each SCF category that has 3 or more points winners.
Sponsors Prizes
We are hoping to have sponsorship prizes for individual races and will update this page soon.
FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Please check through the frequently asked questions below. If you can't find the answer you're most welcome to drop us a question here.
Q: Can I register on the day?
A: No - You must register on the website and registration will be closing Thursday 6pm before each Sunday event. Final sign in and timing chip pickup will be on the day. You just need to come 30 minutes before the scheduled start of your race.
Q: Do I need a SCF or UCI licence for this race?
A: We encourage you to purchase the SCF licence at $85 which includes insurance. The SCF licence is on a calendar year basis. If you are a recreational cyclists or new to the sport, you can compete in the SPORTS Category without a SCF licence. We do however strongly advise that you have some form of medal insurance that covers competitive sports.
Q: Can I cancel my booking once entered?
A: No, once paid, your entry is confirmed and nontransferable.
Q: Why are there so many SCF race categories yet only 3 races?
A: SCF is following the UCI categories that are recognised internationally. As we only have time for 3 races and many of the categories will have very small numbers, we need to group these categories. We can, however, include multiple waves in each race so that you don't all start at the same time.
Q: Does this mean there will be prizes for each SCF Category?
A: Yes and No. For the day's prize giving, we will recognise every SCF category that has 3 or more participants and have a podium presentation. As there are so many categories and numbers are unknown (this is the first year), we intend to present a "perpetual" trophy for the photo shots which is not kept by the individuals. At the end of the season, there will be trophies for the overall winners, 2nd and 3rd of each SCF category that has 3 or more points winners.
We are hoping to have sponsorship prizes for individual races and will update this page soon.
Q: How can I warm up before my race?
A: Please use surround roads (non-circuit) of Turf City and take caution and ensure you are back in time for your start time.
Q: Do you have medics on hand in case of emergency?
A: Yes we have a full medical team stationed at the event and ambulances on standby.
Q: I'd like to help out (volunteer) on the day - is that possible?
A: Absolutely - we always need help running these events. Please drop us a message here.
Event T&C's
Feed Zone
In 2017 there will be a new feedzone area. Supporters should only use this area to support their riders.
Staging Area
This year there will be a defined staging area which riders for the next race can gather and get ready for their race. In this way riders are more prepared for their race and there is less time needed between the start of each new race / wave.
Pull Out
If you are lapped by the lead rider, the marshals can pull you out of the race, depending on the number of riders still participating. You will be advised to "pull out" just before the start / finish, however you can go through the Start / Finish gantry to record the lap and immediately pull out after this.
Category Placings
Even if you do not finish the race, we will "place" you according to how many laps you completed and the time. In this way if riders fail to complete all their laps due to time constraints, they will still have a recorded placing that is fair.

- Increase opportunities for more winners and reasons to celebrate ;
- Encourage participation in multiple events in any one local racing season ;

- award for highest ranked Singaporean team/club
- awards for highest ranked Singaporean in the men’s and women’s open categories
- presentation of pink jerseys for the highest ranked Singaporean in the men’s and women’s open categories
- the award of points in regional competitions which Singaporeans / Singapore-based riders regularly participate in (Tour de Phuket, Tour de Barelang & Nongsa Challenge).
Prizes
At the end of the season, SCF shall award prizes to the highest ranked individuals* and team/club, as well as the highest ranked Singaporean in the men’s open and highest ranked Singaporean in the women’s open categories and the highest ranked Singaporean team/club*.
In addition, the SCF may award prizes to riders according to their classification and may award a Points Leader’s jersey to both leaders of the individual and team classifications.
Details of the prize presentation award ceremony will be communicated by SCF to all winners after the final event for the season.
NOTE (*)
To qualify as the highest ranked Singaporean team/club, all top four (4) ranked Singaporean riders from that club must have at least 1 ranking point for the 2017 road series. In the event of a tie, only 1 prize (or trophy) will be awarded and this will have to be shared.
In the event of a tie in the individual categories, yellow jerseys will be presented to all the highest ranked athletes. As for the highest ranked Singaporean in the men’s and women’s categories, pink jerseys will be awarded.

Calculating Points - The Mechanics
Determining Age
Age is determined by the present year minus the year of birth of the competitor (i.e. 2017 minus 2000 is 17 years).
Overseas Races - Tour de Phuket, Tour de Barelang, Nongsa Challenge
All Singapore-based riders will be ranked according to their finish time, regardless of the race category (Cat 1,2 or 3) they participated in. They will then be grouped according to their SCF Age Category and ranked for the race. Points will be allocated to each SCF category that is defined to have national points and where the individual has a valid licence.
Resolving Ties
In the event of a tie in the final ranking, the rider with the greatest number of 1st places on the ranking of races in the current year shall take precedence. If there is still a tie, it will be resolved by the greatest number of 2nd places, then 3rd places etc, whatever the rider’s placing.
Only places for which SCF ranking points are allocated will be taken into consideration.
Team Ranking (Best Team and Best Singaporean Team)
The team rankings shall be obtained by adding together the points of their four (4) best placed riders in the individual rankings (across all road categories whether male or female) in the current year.
Resolving Ties
Ties between teams shall be resolved by counting up the greatest number of 1st places, 2nd places etc. This will be based on events organised/sanctioned by SCF in the current year and obtained by the team’s four (4) best riders on the individual rankings.
Determining Best Singaporean Team
The Best Singaporean team shall be obtained by adding together the points of their four (4) highest ranked Singaporean riders in the individual ranking in the current year.
Changing/Switching Teams
Riders are permitted to move and change team names during the season, however no transfer of individual rider points will be permitted to be brought forward to the new team during the season.
