Race Information

The Minninup course is super flat, feast and fun. Not overly technical but super grippy though the corners and very well suited to power riders.

We have courses and graded races to suit all ages, abilities and fitness, for 6 year olds through to 80 plus year olds.

New riders are most welcome and we will host ride days leading up to the event the weekends prior.

This will be the 2nd of 2 races forming the SOUTH 32 WAMBENGER CUP and the 2nd State XCO Round.

You don’t need to be doing any of the other rounds to take part.

State series points will be allocated for each round, while points for the Wambenger Cup prizes will be the total of points accumulated from both rounds 1 & 2 on Sat 2nd & Sun 3rd

ACCOMODATION

Camping/ Caravaning is available at the CollIe High School as has been it has been in the past, a 2km path ride along the river from the race course.

There is a stunning spring feed lake next to the school oval to cool off and clean up in

Toilets will again be provided.

Book via the registration process for either event.

Bookings are available for camping from February Friday the 10th for Friday Deb 28th through to Monday March 3rd.

The course is on a beautiful bend in the Collie River, known as Minninup Pool, which is a popular swim and paddle area complete with swing rope jumps into the water.

We hope to have a secure bike lock up facility at either venue, so you can relax going elsewhere and whilst sleeping.

There is limited accommodation in Collie only a few hundred meters away and 15 minutes drive from the Wellington Dam Courses! - but book now as there is big festival on in Collie that weekend.

Bunbury is also only 35 & 50min away from the courses.

The trail network

New Super Fast Circuit!!

We are excited to offer a great contrast to Saturdays trail and the previous years circuit.

There will be an opportunity to practice on these trails any day prior to the race following the attached map and fully marked for official practice between 7-8am on the Race Day.

Come for the race, stay for the fun...bring the whole family and come on down to test yourself against the state's best in Collie on Sunday
