The 2009 Felt MTBA Australian Marathon Championships is now postponed

Big Hill Events regret to announce that due to the devastating fires that have recently swept the Wandong area, the FELT MTBA 2009 Australian National Marathon Championships has been postponed.

A new date, venue and host for the 2009 Championships are yet to be confirmed by MTBA.   All current entrants will be contacted directly by Big Hill Events regarding the process for refund or credit.

Due to the severity of the damage caused by the fires, it is unlikely that Big Hill Events will be able to run a race in Wandong in the following year.  However, Big Hill Events are very busy with plans for a new Victorian race venue for March 2010 and are hopeful of being given the opportunity to host the 2010 MTBA Australian National Marathon Championships.

Big Hill Events are also planning to co-host a 6hr Enduro as part of the Victorian Enduro Series and host a stage race that will include a Hill Climb, XC race and Mini Marathon.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.  We would also like to share our great appreciation towards our many sponsors and supporters of the 2009 event.  

Our thoughts remain with all of those who have been affected by the Victorian bush fires.
