The Wingello 15/30/45/60 is a classic cross-country (XCO) mountain bike race staged in the tall timber of Wingello State Forest in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Organised by local trail advocates Highlands Trails, the event delivers authentic multi-lap XC racing across a carefully balanced circuit that tests both endurance engine and trail skills.

Wingello State Forest has long held a revered status among East Coast mountain bikers, known for its flowing pine-needle singletrack and fast, rolling topography. Following extensive bushfire recovery and rebuilding efforts across the Southern Highlands, this event highlights the revitalised trail network, bringing together local trail builders, regional racers, and riders stepping up to their first cross-country start line.

The format uses a repetitive 15km loop structure, making it accessible to all ability levels. Riders choose between one, two, three, or four full circuits to cover 15km, 30km, 45km, or 60km respectively. Whether you use the single-lap option as a low-stress entry into competitive mountain biking or tackle four laps to test your pacing over 60km, the event delivers a friendly community vibe grounded in grassroots racing culture.
