MarathonMTB Townsville XCM Champs Course check

MarathonMTB.com flew into Townsville early this year to get the low-down on the new course at Mt Douglas MTB park.

A Decade of Dirt, The 2018 Pisgah Stage Race Wrapup

The stage racing hangover is as real as any substance abuse hangover. Every part of the body aches, the sense of time and place is less certain than on a regular-day. And the mess you’ve got to clean up is substantial. But unlike any other hangover you’ve got all the memories from the incredible experience, […]

Standish and Hill win final stage of 2018 LEITA

LEITA Alice Springs MarathonMTB

The organisers of the 2018 Lasseters Easter in the Alice (LEITA) say that they keep the best trails for last. And after racing Stage 3, I’m inclined to agree. With another start at the Telegraph Station, today we were rolling out behind a neutral car back towards the highway, before a hard right hand turn […]
