Hux at Bux

Hux at Bux - FlowDuro - Sunday 1st Dec

So you think you are the best descender in the field, well prove it. Hux at Bux which is on the Sunday after Bella Buxton and Buxton Boot Camp is a 3 stage FlowDuro. Each stage is between 1 and 2km in length of mostly descending on the brilliant flowing single tracks of Buxton.
We wont be using the Cathedral trail so NO full face helmets are needed. Its about flow and skill.

This is a mixed event however we will be having some ‘Women Only’ time slots for each stage for your benefit.

Suitable for anything from a hardtail to a 150mm travel bike. Choose your weapon!

Each stage finishes at the race village giving you a chance to eat, drink and chat with your mates about your run before heading back off into the trails to reach the start of the next stage.
