Mountain Bike Australia is pleased to confirm the dates for the 2017 Cross-Country Marathon National Series.

The series will again visit four states and two territories, giving riders the opportunity to “Experience The Journey” of marathon racing across the country from February to October in 2017.

“The Willo Enduro”, held in Wingello, New South Wales is in its seventh year and will again kick-start the seven race series on the 26th of February.

Riders will then head south to Bendigo, Victoria for the Golden Triangle, which will form part of the national series for the second year.

Alice Springs in the Northern Territory will again be the destination for marathoners in April to compete in the unique “Easter In The Alice.”

Round four, the “Bayview Blast” will be held in Redland Bay on the 27-28th May, before the series heads west three months later for the “Dwellingup 100” which is one of the largest one day events in Australia.

The marathon caravan returns to Queensland, specifically Grandchester in the Lockyer Valley for the “Flight Centre Epic”, while the series will conclude with the popular “Kowalski Classic” on the 15th of October.

“The 2017 Marathon series offers something for all our riders. It is a good mix of club and promoter events, all well established and with great reputations, and the spread around the country will allow all riders to take part in their national series throughout the year. I would like to thank all these events for being part of MTBA’s 2017 season,” said MTBA President Russell Baker.
