2024 : Australia : Mount Stromlo, Canberra, ACT
Cory Wallace (Canada) and Monique de Abreu (Australia) are the 2024 WEMBO World Champions following a great race at the home of 24 hour mountain biking in Australia - Canberra's Mount Stromlo. Cory would ride an impressive 434 Km with 10,178 m of climbing to take the win. The race was hosted by Canberra Off-Road Cyclists and supported by ACT Events and DURT. With current and previous world champions on course in both men and women, the racing was alwyas going to be first class. Cory Wallace took the lead relatively early to win from Mick Sherwood and the legendary Jason English. The Elite Women's race was very close throughout with Monique breaking away from reigning champion Kate Kellet in the last quarter, with Lucie van der Schalk in 3rd. The trails were in great condition after some rain on the Thursday before the race and the course, set by jeff Hughes, received praise from all the riders, with a mix of steady climbs and the fun descents of Western Wedgetail, Skyline and Luge, for which Stromlo is renowned. You can download the course map from the live timing website below.

2023 : Australia : Armidale, NSW
Cory Wallace (Canada) and Kate Kellett took out the 2023 WEMBO World Champion titles on one of the best tracks and venues we have had for a 24, supported by the University of New England, New England Mountain Bikers, Armidale Regional Council and Destination NSW. The Elite Women's race was very close with 5 riders on the same lap for most of the race.. 2022 WEMBO world champ Chelsey Magness (USA) came in 3rd, with Kaydee Raths (USA) in 2nd. It was a battle between now 5-times world champion Cory Wallace (CAN) and 7-times world champ Jason English (AUS) in the men, with Jason having to settle for 2nd place. The weather forecast did not look good for the weekend but the expected rain and lightning went somewhere else and all that really hit us was some rain during the post-race presentations on Sunday afternoon. A highlight of the event was the marshal points on course, which were provided by students of The Armidale School's mountain bike program. TAS kept the party going out in the bush; non-stop for 24 hours.
