The program has now reached full capacity. Please contact Evan James evan.james@auscycling.org.au for more information.

With the MTB National Champiohsips being run over a 12 day period in 2023, the National Junior Travel Program has been split into 2 separate programs. One for the Cross-country events (XCO, XCC and team relay) followed by one for the Downhill championships (in conjunction with the Cannonball Festival).

For full information on the National Junior Travel program please see the AusCycling website HERE. The information below should be read in conjunction with the information sheet downloadable from the website.

Important Information Regarding Injury and Illness Management. All staff running the National Junior Travel Program have first aid training and all events included in the program are serviced by professional medical support. In rare instances athletes may sustain an injury or illness that prevents them from travelling home within the scheduled program timeframe. This may include, but is not limited to, being admitted to hospital and/or injuries that prevent an athlete from flying. While AusCycling will take all reasonable steps to facilitate the athletes return home, where the athlete is unable to travel home through the normal program logistics the athlete becomes the responsibility of the parent or guardian. AusCycling strongly recommends the use of travel insurance to facilitate the cancellation or rebooking of flights
