Welsh XC Series 2025 - Margam

MTB XC , Port Talbot – Saturday, 26 Apr 2025

Event Summary

Event Overview

Welcome to the 2025 Welsh Cycling Mountain Bike Cross Country Series #WelshMTBXC. We are continuing to build the series following our successful return post covid and have five rounds within the Series featuring venues in the North, Mid and South of Wales. 

 

Due to the cancellation of the Forest of Dean event, we have been able to secure permission to use the National XC round 2 at Margam as a counting round for the series.

This means a slightly different timetable with racing spread over both days.

Entries for the U14 (Juvenile), U16 (Youth) and all adult categories will be via the main National series page link below:   National XC Margam

 

Entries for the under 8/10/12 races will be via this page.

 

Volunteer sign up is via the link below:

Volunteer sign up for Margam

 

Welsh XC Series:

To qualify for the overall series you must:

  • Start 3 out of 5 Rounds
  • Have either volunteered or provided a volunteer at a minimum of 1 event of the series

Team Competition

This year we will be running a team competition!
Open to all riders in the Under 14 and older categories for the title of Team Champions (Prize may or may not be given, it will be a surprise!) 
The best four riders from each club will score. This will make the competition far more open rather than limiting it to the clubs with the best attendance. However, there is a small catch: For four riders to score, at least two must be female (and, for equal opportunities, at least two must be male/open category). 


To be eligible your team must also have volunteered at least one event in the series.

 

With races for U8s through to Adults including Fun categories for beginners / novices, this promises to be a fantastic  round of the Welsh MTB XC Series 2025 on the brilliant trails at Margam Country Park

 

Cross country Mountain Bike racing is off-road cycle racing which takes place in a variety of off-road venues. Mountain Bike racing is often held in parkland, woodland, and forestry sites. These venues are designed to include climbs, decent and other technical features.

 

Anyone can enter no matter what their age, ability or bike. Provided they have a helmet, and their bike is in good working order. There is a category for everyone and separate races for younger riders. Podium/prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category.

Events are organised by local cycling clubs and take place across Wales at weekends throughout March to July. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and included courses that are well-planned and safe.

 

The closing date will be Wednesday 11pm on 23rd April 2025.
