About the 2007 Scott 24hr:

· it IS the original 24hr race (our naming right sponsor changed from Mont to SCOTT last year)

· it’s held by CORC rather than a private promoter – so any money raised goes back into mountain biking

· it’s professionally event managed to ensure a successful event

· it’s back at the original race site – Mt Stromlo

· it gives you the chance to race at the same venue as the World Championships

· it includes a Solo category

· it’s to be held on the 13th- 14th October

What’s new this year?

The 2007 course at Stromlo Forest Park will feature an Australia-first hour glass double-loop enduro course, tailored to work specifically for the 24hr race.

This will mean:

· less crowding on the course due to lower rider density

· different terrain options and length for different team members, that is you can change riders at the end of each loop of the hour glass
