2025 R05 XCC | Craigburn Farm

Craigburn Farm is situated next to Shepherds Hill Recreation Park, giving this event the character of a short, sharp dirt race instead of an extended excursion. The 2025 R05 XCC | Craigburn Farm is designated XCC: a rapid cross-country MTB race, which the organizer clarifies as "up and down the hill." Anticipate a swift escalation of effort, with a reduced race duration and a course designed for this format. This is the type of event where participants arrive prepared for consistent climbs, rapid recoveries, and no respite once the lap tempo begins; the added distinction is racing on Mother's Day, lending the morning a unique atmosphere before the finish line is reached.
