The Philippine National Championship - XCO / XCE 2024 is set to take place from 16 Mar 2024 to 17 Mar 2024. This prestigious event will bring together the country's top cyclists to compete in a series of challenging cross-country races. The championship is recognized by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body for sports cycling and oversees international competitive cycling events.
The XCO (Cross-Country Olympic) and XCE (Cross-Country Eliminator) are two of the most exciting and demanding disciplines in mountain biking. The XCO is a mass-start race typically held on a 4-6 km circuit, featuring a mix of forest roads, singletrack, rocky paths, and grassy slopes. The XCE, on the other hand, is a knockout race where four riders compete against each other, with the top two advancing to the next round.
The Philippine National Championship - XCO / XCE 2024 is not just a competition, but also a celebration of the sport's growth and popularity in the country. It provides a platform for Filipino cyclists to showcase their skills and compete at a high level. The event also aims to inspire more people to take up the sport and promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
