XCC - Eagle TDU

Race 1 - 12th January 2024

Eagle MTB Park

Friday afternoon racing!


Welcome back to XCC racing for 2024! Starting at Eagle MtB Park this year for an evening of fast fun racing across multiple grades!

What is XCC?

XCC is a fast paced ‘cross country’ (meaning up and down the hill) MTB race that is designed around a shortened race time and more suitable course design for beginners, meaning it is a friendly introduction to racing for all.

For our more experienced riders, think crit racing of mountain bike, but twisted with spectacular features and exciting sprints for position.
