Registrations are now open for the 2015 Port to Port MTB, a four day mountain bike race in Newcastle and surrounding regions.
The Port to Port MTB course begins at the tranquil Nelson Bay
Marina, where riders are greeted by four days of exciting single track,
fire trails, testing hill climbs and steep descents through Cessnock,
the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie and Newcastle.
One of the features of the 2015 event will be the Crowne Plaza Sundown
Shootout. This exclusive event will be a fast-paced mountain bike
spectacular, consisting of a 2km time trial for the top one hundred
riders, starting in the newly built Lovedale Brewery and winding around
the Hunter Valley Golf course. For riders not competing in the Crowne
Plaza Sundown Shootout, this will be an opportunity to witness
Australia’s best Mountain Bike riders up-close in action.
NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Andrew
Stoner said he looks forward to welcoming participants from around the
country and the world to Newcastle and the Hunter in NSW for the second
Port to Port MTB.
“This year’s Port to Port MTB was very well received, delivering a
significant economic benefit to the local community. The NSW Government
is proud to have secured the event from 2014 to 2016 through our tourism
and major events agency, Destination NSW”.
“The event showcases the magnificent Hunter region of NSW to an
international audience, with competitors traversing idyllic beaches,
picturesque wine country, and forest trails over four action-packed days
of competition,” Mr Stoner said.
The Port to Port MTB will be held from Thursday 28 May to Sunday 31 May, 2015. To register and for more information, visit porttoportmtb.com
