Mountain Biking Schools Comp

Friday 21 March 2025 | 12:00 AM

Get ready for an epic day of mountain biking with the Rocky Trail Academy comp at Nerang MTB Park! Hosted by Rocky Trail Entertainment, this event is designed for high school-age riders to challenge themselves across three epic timed stages on some of the best trails in the region. Whether they’re looking to challenge themselves or just have fun with friends, the Rocky Trail Academy event is all about fostering growth and camaraderie. 

The event format includes three stages, designed to test a variety of skills, including endurance, speed, and technical ability. Everyone gets five possible runs on each track, with the fastest time per stage counting toward your final result. With no set track order and untimed liaisons, you can enjoy the beautiful outdoors at your own pace. Riders will also earn points for their school, with bonus points awarded for top finishers on each track.

Race categories are based on school year groups - students race against their peers and experience the thrill of friendly competition. Each track is designed to be rideable by anyone from beginners to experienced, ensuring there’s something for every skill level.

The experienced team will be there to ensure everything runs smoothly, from registration to course marshalling and first aid services! For full event details, including trail maps, parking, and amenities, visit the official event page.
