The Samford XC track is situated just 800m from the heart of Samford Village, just 20kms from the Brisbane CBD at the Baden Powell Scout Camp.

The course starts off on a smooth grassy field, before riders are greeted with the first of many singletrack sections. Section after section of fun, tight and pinchy singletrack with plenty of passing opportunity on all the fireroad sections. Lots of hills, but most are all short, and less than a minute long. The course suits riders of all technical abilities, and will especially reward those with fitness and climbing legs! The final 1km into the finish is fun and fast singletrack following the creek with bridges, tight turns before it 'spits' riders out onto the grassy field into the finish.

Series Info:

The 2019 Sunshine Series is a combination of races held by different clubs based in southeast Queensland. Depending on the category you selected you will be racing in either the Olympic Cross Country (XCO) format or in a timed race on the same course.

In the Sunshine Series, there will be five rounds between May and August, held in various locations throughout southeast Queensland. Based on finish positions in each race, riders will accumulate points, and the rider with the most points after the five rounds is awarded the ‘Series Champion’.

Prizes are awarded to the winners of each category, and every podium place-getter will also receive Queensland Mountainbike medals for their fine efforts. Riders will also receive points based on the finishing position in their category.

There is a category for everyone to participate, to match both skill and fitness. The race is a categorised mass start around a 4-6km course. The riders will compete on a predetermined number of laps. The first rider across the finish line after completing the set number of laps is declared the winner.
