2013 Cross Country Championship Garvagh Forrest
This years MTB Cross Country National Championship will be hosted by Carn Wheelers in Garvagh Forrest on the 21st of July!
The Course
The start finish area will be adjacent to the school grounds where there will be ample parking and direct access from the school grounds to the course. The U8s, U10s and U12s will all have their own dedicated junior course which will be just challenging enough for the more capable kids but not overwhelming for them either. This course will be centered around the start/finish area, will be convenient to the car park and facilities in the school ground and will be excellent for spectators as they will be able to view the whole kids’ course from the one spot.

Practice
The course will be taped and open for practice on the Saturday (20th) afternoon before the race from 1PM to 6PM. You must park in the school grounds and sign on to be able to practice.
