ABOUT

Monday 8th June, 2026

SUPPORTED BY ALTUS TRAFFIC – thank you!

Join us for the five race CX series for 2026. We will have series prizes for Elites, Seniors & Juniors.

Locations will be confirmed in the coming days. We’re locking in some new venues at Baskerville, Clarence Plains and Glenorchy MTB Park.

Round 1 is on the King’s Birthday – so we’ll celebrate birthdays and CX racing with a piece of cake post-race – and will award a handful of spot prizes.

Cyclocross (sometimes known as CX) is a mix between road riding and cross-country mountain biking. It started as a winter season alternative to road racing in Northern Europe many decades ago.

Races are held over short courses with racers avoiding obstacles (which may require dismounting), riding on grass, gravel, steep hills and more. It’s a sometimes muddy, fun experience for all ages of riders.

• Online Entries Only: No entries will be accepted on the day

RACE DETAILS:

Cyclocross (CX) Racing involve multiple laps of a short, non-technical, mixed terrain circuit. Racing will be the “mini – enduro” format with whoever completes the most laps in 45 minutes being declared the winner. CX is less technical than traditional Cross-Country MTB Racing and has the addition of sections of track where participants need to dismount and run with their bikes.

Bikes:

All types of bike (and rider) are welcome to get involved and get rad! (as long as they have 2 working brakes, and bar plugs in the handlebars). Bring your cross, gravel or all-road bike or MTB

Grippy tyres are handy. We don’t apply the UCI restriction of 33mm tyres – but you can pop those on your bike for an authentic experience if you wish!
