We are excited to announce some fantastic new changes to the 2010 Maxxis Boonah Marathon.  Be the very first to ride these new trails!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC NEWS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKING

Awesome new area for mountain bike riding!!!!!!!!!!

To allow us to make the new course changes and have the trails ready we have moved the date of the Maxxis Boonah Marathon from the first advertised date of 6th June to now the 26th September.  At least you won't have to get up early on a cold winters day.  We at Two Wheel Promotions have been working hard with all parties involved to bring you a great Maxxis Boonah Marathon for 2010.

This year we will see a change with the Marathon starting at the Boonah Showgrounds like in previous years but finishing at a new location "Lillybrook" at the Wyaralong Dam Recreational Trails a fantastic new multi-use recreational trail network with some awesome trails to finish off your Marathon.  The trail network will still be in the construction phase but Two Wheel Promotions has secured access to selected trails that are completed in this area for the Maxxis Boonah Marathon. They will not be open to the public yet but here is your chance to come and try some of the trails before they open and see the what will become a mountain bike "mecca" in the future.

Two Wheel Promotions is proud to be associated with construction of these trails in a Queensland Water Infrastructure project. The trail network is being constructed in the Wyaralong Dam project approx.9km from Boonah.   This will be a mountain bikers dream with a dedicated area for mountain bikers just an hours drive from Brisbane.

This area will become a mountain bikers "heaven" with approx. 40km of trails being constructed.    The Marathon course will see you traverse the western trailhead "Lillybrook" and will become the hub of mountain biking in the area.   Work will start later this year on the construction of a Mountain Bike Park with cross country,downhill & 4x courses built to National event standard.

As well as the multi-use trails there will also be nature based recreational activities the whole family can enjoy. If they don't want to go riding they wil be able to enjoy the many other nature based activities, walking,horse-riding,camping, canoeing or have a picnic relax & enjoy the surrounds. These are still in the construction phase.

The first 2/3rd of the Maxxis Marathon will be the same as last years course, so you don't get to miss out on the gruelling hill climb of the  "infamous Wall"and experience the beautiful countryside the scenic rim has to offer. The final 1/3 of the course will see you finish through the Wyaralong trail network.

As in previous years you will have the choice of two distances - The Full (80km) Lite (50km) final distances to be confirmed.

Once finished you can relax with your family and listen to the band playing, have a bite to eat and enjoy the beautiful countryside. You cheer on your friends and fellow riders as they finish. 

You won't want to be the one who missed the opportunity to see this area and be the first to try it out before it is open to the public. Get your entries in now and tell your friends all about it.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE MARATHON THIS YEAR MAKE SURE IT'S THE MAXXIS BOONAH MARATHON
