Saturday 20 – Sunday 21 May, 2023
The racing is presented by the team at WACX on behalf of Perth Mountain Bike Club. We are proud to be hosting the opening two rounds of the AusCycling National Cyclocross Series in 2023. This will be the first time in 9 years that WA has hosted national-level cyclocross racing. And it’s going to be epic!
There will be racing for everyone, including kids, masters and elite. Entries have now closed. See the below links for entry lists once they become available.
The home of WACX is Garvey Park, so it’s fitting that the opening two rounds of the National Cyclocross Series are taking place at this epic venue.
Garvey Park is accessed off Fauntleroy Avenue in suburb of Ascot. The venue has plenty of parking, toilets, a café and lot of space to build great cyclocross courses!
Garvey Park is only 6min 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.
An epic cyclocross race weekend isn’t complete without good food and drink!
The team from Nowhereman Brewing Co will be serving up their famous beers.
We’ll also have Driftwood Mobile Café and Oishii Modern Japanese Street Food on hand to satisfy your hunger for a good feed.
Jethro Nagle, producer and host of The Press Room Podcast, will be on the mic to make sure you don’t miss any of the action!

The below maps are 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 for riders to practice on. Refer to the race-day schedule for official course practice times.
The course will be run in an anti-clockwise direction on Saturday and clockwise on Sunday. There will be small variations and adjustments made for the course between Saturday and Sunday.
The schedules for Saturday and Sunday are slightly different. The event will commence slightly later on Saturday, due to Garvey Park hosting a local 5km Parkrun from 8:00am to 9:00am.
The following is a draft schedule for each day’s racing. This is provisional and subject to change based on final entry numbers. Waved starts will be used for races where multiple categories are racing at the same time.
