International mountain bike racing returns to Cairns in April 2026.
The Oceania Continental Series Finale brings four days of UCI-sanctioned Downhill and Cross-Country Olympic racing to Smithfield MTB Park.
Delivered with AusCycling, the event combines elite competition, national pathways and festival energy on one of the world’s most recognised mountain bike venues.
“From a downhill perspective, this venue is as legit as it gets — steep, raw, technical and demanding. Having a race like this on home soil gives our riders a proper benchmark before heading into the international season.” – Mick Hannah
