Stromlo Forest Park UCI events

Testament to its growing reputation as a world-class venue was hosting the 2008 Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup and the running of the 2009 UCI World Mountain Bike and Trials Championships. These events provided a showcase of the overall site and the fast, challenging, world-class tracks (including cross-country; downhill; and 4-cross); just some of the many cutting-edge tracks that Makin Trax has developed in our short history.

In early September 2009 the World Championships event attracted more than 750 of the world’s top mountain bike riders, as well as 40,000+ visitors from up to 40 countries; broadcast to a television audience of 25 million people across the world.

The feedback from organisers and the riders involved in this event has been overwhelming – the venue was highly acclaimed by the UCI (the International Cycling Union) and the cross-country race track was widely hailed as the best on the world circuit.

This feedback we believe is a validation of the all the hard work, technical prowess and the knowledge of the Makin Trax team. This experience has helped us to provide an even higher standard for the construction of mountain bike event venues and a benchmark for the industry in this region.
