TWEED VALLEY

Venues

With over 80km of purpose-made trails, Glentress Forest is one of Scotland’s original trail centres and the most visited tourist attraction in the Scottish Borders

NEED TO KNOW

80KM of purpose-made trails

The first trails here were created some 20 years ago, and have long been known to the mountain biking community as some of the finest in the world. However, this is the first major international competition to be hosted here. The variety of technical terrain will challenge even the most seasoned MTB Marathon and Cross-country riders. New legends will fight their way up leg-burning climbs through dense fir wood forests, eventually giving way to breathtaking views of the Tweed Valley before swooping switchback descents with jumps, tabletops and steep, fast corners.
