Description

This year’s event is a 3hr Cross Country Marathon (XCM) race on some sweet single track in the small town of Eildon – trust us, this is a hidden gem! E-bikes are welcome with a separate category.

Racing will take place in either age group categories, open male and female (E-bike only). The trails will be rideable wet or dry and are suitable for everyone from beginners to experienced riders.

Thinking that 3-hours in the saddle is a bit much? We also offer a Short Course Come and Try event (1.5hrs – similar to a traditional Cross Country Olympic race). This is aimed at any eligible emergency services workers simply wishing to participate, try their hand at racing or just have a ride with friends in a safe and controlled environment.
