Click More below for details an
1. Entry Closing Date
2. Club Team Relay
3. Championships Jersies


1. Entry closing date extended
The entry deadline for closing has been extended to midnight 7th January. MTBA encourages you to pre-enter for the following reasons…



a) It will save you money. A late fee for any on-the-day entries of $50 will be applied
b) Pre-entry helps the organisers resource and allocate appropriate infrastructure to the event. This will also help you get the very best from the event in so many ways - from toilets to DH transport to catering - all these things depend on knowing how many participants to expect.



Pre-enter now!



2. Club Team Relay
The Club Team Relay is scheduled for Thursday 14th January at 12.30pm. The requirements for the team structure has been relaxed as follows:

. A rider of any age (Male or Female)
. A Female rider
. A Junior rider (of any gender and of any age under 19)
. A Veteran rider (of any gender and aged 30+)



If you are interested in being part of a team you no longer need to have the same jersey (although it is desirable) but you do need to a member of the club that enters you, and you must have already entered another format for the Championships.



Registration for the Club Team Relay is available till 10am sharp Thursday 14th January. The entry fee is $150 per team and must be paid on registration in full on a team basis - ie the entire Team fee is to be paid at one time. All podium teams will receive medals.



3. Championship Jersies
MTBA is pleased to announce that all age group winners in the SRAM 2010 Australian MTB Championships will receive a MTBA National Champion jersey.



This is a first for MTBA. Tony Scott, MTBA EO said, “This is rewarding age class Champions in an official way that recognises their efforts in a very appropriate fashion for the Australian MTB Championships. The Jersey we have designed with help from Champion Systems, while recognisably similar to the jersey awarded to the Australian Champions in the UCI classes, will be distinctive enough that people will, in time, acknowledge the jersey wearer as an age group National Champion.”



Skill based race categories (Sport, Expert, Novice, Hardtail etc) are not eligible to receive this jersey, but will of course still be awarded a medal for any podium position gained.
