Schedule

Full race day schedules for Saturday and Sunday are available in our Event & Rider Guide. They’re also available below.

Please note that the schedules for Saturday and Sunday vary slightly. Saturday racing starts slightly later to avoid a clash with the Garvey Park Parkrun.

Course

The below map is indicative of the race course, but may be subject to change. Once the course has been inspected and approved by the race commissaires, it will be opened to riders for practice. Refer to event schedule for official course practice times.

2026 Garvey Park CXNS course

Race venue

Garvey Park is the spiritual home of cyclocross in Western Australia, so it’s right that we kick off a big season of national-level racing at this stunning venue.

Easy access off Fauntleroy Ave, Ascot. The venue has plenty of parking, toilets, a café and lot of space to build a great cyclocross course!

Accommodation

Garvey Park is only five minutes from Perth Airport, so riders visiting from interstate may not need to rent a vehicle. There’s a variety of accommodation between the airport and race venue, concentrated along the corridor that follows Great Eastern Highway.

Food, drink and music

An epic cyclocross race weekend isn’t complete without good food and coffee!

We’ll have Swan Cafe, The Thirsty Mare and The Little Phap on hand to ensure you’re properly fed and caffeinated for a big weeekend of cross.

You may even catch some tunes from our DJ at the stairs feature out on course!

Expert commentary

Perth local, and man with the golden voice, Ben Thorman, will be on the mic to make sure you don’t miss any of the action!

Rider categories

We’ll have a full schedule of events across Saturday and Sunday, with a participation event for kids, followed by racing for Juniors, Masters and Elite. Additional details can be found in our Event & Rider Guide.
