At Margaret River on Friday October 10 and Saturday October 11, 2014

EVENT PROGRAM
There will be three events on offer, with a long distance race to be held on Friday and middle and sprint races on Saturday.

Friday October 10: Long Distance Race
Saturday October 11: Middle Distance Race & Sprint Event

Exact locations are currently being confirmed but we anticipate both the long and middle distance events to take in part of the famous Cape to Cape (C2C) mountain bike course, including the fun and flowing single tracks through the Carter Rd pines.  

Since our events are being held just two weeks prior to the C2C, we expect the tracks to be in top condition. The sprint event will be a mixture of built up urban area and bush tracks, utilising the town’s sporting ovals, council offices and high school in a true sprint environment.

All events are set to commence within a short ride from town so you can even leave the car behind!

Presentations for the 2014 Mountain Bike Orienteering Series winners will also be made at the conclusion of this event, so be there to accumulate valuable points and stake your claim on the series.

EVENT AREA
As well as the mountain bike events, Margaret River offers much more to enjoy; wineries, beaches, rock climbing, dining, the Margaret River Chocolate Factory and caves all within short driving distances from town. Make a holiday of it and combine racing and relaxing.  

If you are travelling to Western Australia for the Karrak Karnival or Sprint the South West series, then it will be worth your while to stay on the extra few days to enjoy the best that WA has to offer.
