AusCycling Executive General Manager - Sport Kipp Kaufmann said the double-header promises a big weekend of XCO action, with approximately 130 competitors and officials expected to attend.

“The course will take riders through a magnificent network of purpose-built trails and tracks, with the individual events starting and finishing at the new Multisport Cycling Complex,” Mr Kauffman said.

“We are pleased to be working with such a great partner in Wagga Wagga City Council to deliver a high-quality event for all participants.”

Strategic Recreation Officer Peter Cook said Council received a lot of positive feedback from the 2022 AusCycling Marathon National Championships mountain bike event in August.
