Macarthur in May — Two Rounds, One Shot Before Worlds

Ride Together • May 6, 2026

Two Rounds. Back to Back. Eight Weeks to Worlds.

AusCycling BMX Racing National Series Rounds 3 and 4 run at Macarthur on May 23 and 24. This is the final national series event of the 2026 domestic season before the UCI World Championships arrive in Brisbane in July.

For riders chasing series points, it's critical. For Elite riders with eyes on the world stage, it's the last major race day before everything gets bigger.

Why Macarthur Matters This Year

In a normal year, Macarthur is a solid national series event. In 2026, it carries extra weight. With Worlds in Brisbane just two months out, the performance conversations happening at these rounds are directly connected to selection, form, and momentum.

Coaches and managers will be watching carefully. So will we.

The Series Table After Four Rounds

After Macarthur, the national series wraps up and the points are what they are. Riders who've been consistent across all four rounds will have a clear picture of where they stand nationally. Riders who've had gaps — whether from injury, cost, or access — will feel it in the rankings.

This is why we push for continuous support across a full season, not just one-off race entry funding. A rider who makes it to Brisbane but missed Shepparton and Macarthur is at a structural disadvantage by the time they're lining up at Worlds.

Full Season Support Is the Point

Ride Together is built around the idea that backing a rider means backing them for the whole season — not just the headline event. If we're going to put a kid on a gate at the World Championships, we want them to arrive with a full season behind them.

That costs more than a single entry fee. And it's worth it.

Rounds 3 and 4 at Macarthur. May 23–24. We'll be watching.
