Cross-Country (XCO) is the most popular discipline in mountain biking. In Engelberg, the race is held in the Hors Categorie (HC), where riders start in a mass start and compete over several laps on a challenging course with constant rhythm changes and rough terrain for the victory. In addition to the elite, youth categories all the way down to U9, as well as recreational cyclists in the fun category, can also race on the same course or its variations.
