sport information

The MTB XCM event will be held on the trails of Dwellingup, a renowned mountain biking destination known for its diverse and natural terrain within the Dwellingup State Forest.

The course will feature a mix of purpose-built and natural cross-country marathon trails, incorporating fast-flowing fire roads, winding singletrack, and extended climbs and descents. Riders can expect a varied and challenging landscape, with sections of packed forest gravel, loose surfaces, technical root zones, and tight, undulating singletrack that demands both endurance and bike handling skill.

The race will consist of two laps of approximately 25 km each, delivering a total distance of around 50 km. The extended format will test riders’ stamina, pacing strategy, and ability to maintain consistent performance across long, sustained efforts.

Equipment

All bicycles and equipment must comply with current Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Regulations. Riders must use a standard cross-country mountain bike suitable for off-road racing conditions. Bikes must be pedal powered only and specifically designed for rugged terrain, fitted with functioning brakes and without any unauthorised technical modifications; helmets must be approved and worn at all times while riding.

The organisers and appointed commissaires may conduct pre-race and/or post-race checks, and any athlete whose equipment is deemed non-compliant or unsafe may be required to rectify the issue before starting or may be withdrawn from the event.

Insurance Advisory and Assumption of Risk

Participation in cycling events carries an inherent risk of injury. All athletes are strongly advised to hold valid and adequate cycleracing–specific insurance appropriate to the nature and level of competition.

Athletes should carefully review the terms of any existing medical or travel insurance policy, as many travel insurance policies specifically exclude cycle racing events unless an additional cover option has been purchased.

In the absence of adequate insurance coverage, the athlete accepts sole responsibility for all costs and expenses arising from any cycling related injury or illness, including but not limited to medical treatment, hospitalisation, ambulance transport, rehabilitation, and any incidental or associated expenses, whether incurred before, during, or after competition.

Event Entry Deadline: Sunday, 28 February 2027

Event Cost: $50 USD

events & divisions

format

Competition Format

Multiple age divisions will compete at the same time in a combined field. Although athletes race together, results will be separated by age division and gender, with first, second, and third place medals awarded in each age category for both men and women.

Age divisions will be identified by coloured, numbered bibs to allow clear differentiation during competition. All riders will be issued a timing chip; however, results and placings will be determined by camera finish to ensure accuracy.

Cut Off Time

A cut-off time may be implemented for riders who do not complete the first lap within a predetermined timeframe. This will be confirmed and explained at the pre-race briefing. Riders who do not meet the cut-off will be withdrawn from the race at that point and will retain the position they held at the time of withdrawal.

For safety reasons, this measure ensures riders are not kept on

course for extended periods in a demanding off-road environment.

Riders who are withdrawn due to the cut-off may still be eligible for medals if they are positioned within a medal-winning place at the time of removal from the race.

Awards

First, second, and third place medals will be presented in each division.

Awards ceremonies will be conducted at scheduled intervals throughout the competition.
