Let’s Go Enduro!

Experience the ultimate ride at the Wooditjup Trails in Margaret River – where short and fast descents, technical features, and epic forest scenery create the perfect playground for mountain bikers of all levels making this a great introduction to Enduro and welcoming start to the Series!

This quality trail network managed by MRORCA is built for adrenaline and adventure who have milked every metre of elevation possible. Don’t miss your chance to race, ride, and revel in the heart of WA’s MTB paradise!

The Venue

Wooditjup Trails (aka The Pines) in Margaret River is proudly managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions in partnership with the Margaret River Off-Road Cycling Association (MRORCA).

With recent redevelopments and exciting new trail additions, the network has been given a fresh boost, making it an even more popular destination just north of the Margaret River townsite. Designed for flow and fun, these predominantly machine-built trails feature gentle grades and smooth lines, but don’t be fooled—there are still plenty of technical rocky features and big kickers to keep riders on their toes. Surrounded by towering trees that provide ample shade, it’s a stunning spot to ride year-round.

We’re thrilled to continue supporting the trails by donating funds for their ongoing sustainability!

Bringing it together

"

Organisation

Time required to bring together all facets of the Event.

Advertising

Facebook advertising, video reels and highlights, maps, website design, signage, Instagram feeds, YouTube clips take time and fees.

Sign-posted and Bunted Course

Arriving early to setup the course. This usually involves multiple people over hours or days ensuring bunting, signage and timing equipment are in place for easy navigation and fair racing.

Event Health Services

Your Entry Fee covers St John Ambulance Services being on-site for both Saturday and Sunday. We typically employ 4 x Technicians and engage with St John months in advance

Toilets

Typically, our Events exceed the venue existing facilities. Regional Services are engaged months in advance to deliver toilets. Hire costs continue to grow as Waste Management Fees continue to increase.

Race Village

It takes time to design the Race Village to enable our awesome Sponsors to arrive and setup in suitable locations to suite their needs. Careful attention to Parking, Pedestrians and Riders is needed for the safe and accessible movement of all attendees and event crew.

Applications and Insurances

Typically, several Stakeholders need to be engaged months in advance of any Event. We liaise with Local Governments, State Departments, Auscycling, Local Residents and Trail Custodians to act in the best interests of all parties while balancing a safe and exciting experience for our Community. Fees are required for Insurance and Event Applications.

Prizes, Gift Vouchers, Subsidies

We typically donate $5 per rider at each event back to the trail custodians, offer more than $2,500 in Event Gift Vouchers to podium winners and offer $750 to our Elite Men and Women winners. We offer free entries to our Marshals, pay for professional services including multiple Photographers and Videographers and assist with fuel, food and accommodation costs for our Crew.

World's Best Timing System

Our Timing System is considered the World’s Best as used at the Enduro World Series. Yearly licensing, hardware and software upgrades are continuous. Additionally, we send our timing bands back to Germany as required for battery replacements at considerable expense.

Continued Development

Once the essential Event costs are accounted for, we continue to research new ways to improve Results, Live Broadcasts, Mobile Phone Apps, data presentation, website development, manage existing equipment and improve our systems with the aim for a better experience for Competitors, Spectators and our Crew.
