In an attempt to continually involve the supportive community of Redlands (as well as the surrounding areas), The Redlands Bicycle Classic has hatched The School Duel. The School Duel is a constructive way for the youth of the community to show school spirit through their participation in healthy physical activity.

• All entries will be accepted through the internet at www.active.com under the Redlands Bicycle Classic Public Races event page. The entry form allows the entrant to designate their school.
• The Public Races at the Redlands Bicycle Classic are structured by age, but The School Duel entrants will be scored first in their respective category and separately by their grade in the School Duel. This will make it possible to have each entrant represent their school appropriately and still race with riders their same age.
• School Duel entrants will be scored according to their placing in their event, which means if Johnny Smith gets 2nd place in the boys 6-year old race and the rider who won was not entered in the School Duel he will be given 22 points (as opposed to 25 points for first in the School Duel, see rules for point structure). The purpose of this is to ease scoring and allow for quick processing of the results, which will allow a winners presentation during one of the professional races.

Participation in the School Duel will directly benefit the local schools by providing a community event that will allow children to participate in a team atmosphere and individually contribute to a collective success.
