Highland Fling to serve as 2007 Australian marathon championships

Organizers of the VAUDE Highland Fling announced their annual event will serve as the 2007 Australian mountain bike marathon championships next year on November 11th. The race receives no sanctioning from MTBA and no UCI ranking points although in 2006, the race attracted 1,100 riders to its challenging course across the Southern Highlands of NSW.

In 2006, the same event announced itself as the Australian mountain bike marathon championships, but controversy ensued, and the MTBA actually award the 2006 title status to another marathon race in Queensland.
