Race Information

Does 60-90mins of red-lining it sound like your idea of fun? Are you ready to put your eBike friends to shame? If so, we have the perfect race for you!

The Wagyl Biddi trail network in Collie is mostly an undiscovered gem in Collie 500m from thee Centre of town, Next to the Collie River and a beautiful spring feed swim hole. The circuit was built 6 years ago by Common Ground with a new addition to the trail network also being added as we speak. The trails have lots of variety with a blend of approximately 50% fast smooth flow trail, 30% fun rocky technical blue trail and 20% open connecting trails al with only 13m elevation which will be a nice change from the Wellington Dam event. We are excited to present you with the opportunity to race on these trails that have never been raced on before and further blow you away with what trails are available and being developed in the Collie/ Wellington Dam region.

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.

There are new jump lines near the Start/Finish area to keep active kids entertained and a fantastic beautiful crystal clear lake next to the trails to cool off in. The trails are great for spectators with plenty of access points to easily watch the race at multiple points with a short walk between each.

Join us on Sunday 6 March in Collie for the second round of the Cross Country Olympic (XCO) 2022 state series.

We'll be following a similiar format to previous events in the XCO state series with Women's, Men's and Sprocket's categories. PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE NOW HAVE A D CLASS FOR WOMEN NOVICE/BEGINNER RIDERS AND E GRADE FOR MEN.

The event centre will be located on the Collie High School Sports Grounds just 1 min from the town centre and presentations at 1pm in the Town Centre park stage (details below).

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
