Yeah, as people have said, it’s loosely based on enduro mtb racing:
Riders are timed in stages that are primarily downhill, with neutral "transfer" stages in between. The transfer stages usually must be completed within a time-limit, but are not part of the accumulated time.
However in this case the transfer is actually the checkpoint. Confusingly from what my friend has told me about mtb enduro, you can ride back up and re-do the timed sections however this all adds to accumulated fatigue.
