Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) is delighted to announce a 2015 Australian Enduro Championships, to be held in Queensland in October 2015.
The two-day event, which will take place from the 17-18 October, will be UCI Cat. 3 listed and modelled on European events like the Super Gravity Enduro in Finale Ligure, Italy.
Shane Coppin, CEO of MTBA, said he is excited to see this style of racing gain recognition in Australia.
“Gravity Enduro events throughout the world are gaining significant momentum, interest and support from riders and organisers.
“With a highly successful Enduro World Series developing, the recent World Series win by Australian Jared Graves, along with developments in this format locally across the country, it seems the time is now appropriate for MTBA to introduce an Australian National Championships for the discipline from 2015.
“It’s an extremely thrilling format that is growing in following and participation and it provides riders with a wide variety of challenges when competing.
“MTBA are very excited to now be reaching out to this part of our fabulous sport and I am personally looking forward to our first Gravity Enduro National Championships, late next year”.
More information will be released in due course by MTBA. Check their website closer to the event date
