OMNIUM HOW-TO
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: WHAT'S AN OMNIUM?
A: Historically meant for track cycling, an omnium is a multiple-race event typically comprising three or more cycling challenges. The G3 Gravel Omnium involves riding three races over three weekends and earning points for an overall placement. Each event carries a specific number of points awarded to the winner, second-place rider, etc. These points are then added together to create an omnium total. This total number is how we determine who has won the G3 Gravel Omnium Championship.
Q: HOW DO I REGISTER FOR THE OMNIUM?
A: All riders who purchase a Series Registration are automatically in contention for the G3 Gravel Omnium Championship. The Series Registration is available via BikeReg and is open for a limited time. You must start each of the three races and finish accordingly in order to be eligible. Those who purchase individual entries for each race will also be entered into the G3 Gravel Omnium. You must be present and race at all three events to avoid disqualification.
Q: WHAT ARE GRAVEL POINTS?
A: Gravel Points are earned based on your finishing times at each of the individual G3 Gravel Races. First place wins the most points, followed by second place, and so on. All finishing times will be added together at the final Gravel Race to determine who finished the series with the most Gravel Points. The rider with the most points will be crowned the G3 Gravel Omnium Champion.
Q: IF I WIN, WHAT DO I GET?
A: Okay, golddigger. Second and third places will receive payouts based on their category position. The overall winner will also receive a payout and a secret second thing. No, we're not spoiling it. You'll just have to wait for November 2024.
Q: I JUST FOUND OUT I CAN'T RIDE ONE OF THE RACES. AM I STILL ELIGIBLE?
