Wagga Wagga's new $12 million Multisport Cycling Complex at Pomingalarna Reserve is gearing up to host the 2022 AusCycling XCO Gold National Cup later this month.
Council and AusCycling are partnering for the double-header XCO rounds on Saturday and Sunday, 29-30 October 2022, with a practice day on Friday 28 October.
Registrations are now open for the event, which features Elite, Juniors and Masters competitions.
AusCycling Executive General Manager - Sport Kipp Kaufmann said the double-header promises a big weekend of XCO action, with approximately 130 competitors and officials expected to attend.
"The course will take riders through a magnificent network of purpose-built trails and tracks, with the individual events starting and finishing at the new Multisport Cycling Complex," Mr Kauffman said.
"We are pleased to be working with such a great partner in Wagga Wagga City Council to deliver a high-quality event for all participants."
Strategic Recreation Officer Peter Cook said Council received a lot of positive feedback from the 2022 AusCycling Marathon National Championships mountain bike event in August.
