Crankworx Cairns is the most recent addition to the Crankworx events calendar, having held its inaugural event in 2022. This year, the world’s largest mountain bike festival takes place 22-26 May and is the first Australian stop on the Crankworx World Tour, which also visits Rotorua, Innsbruck and Whistler. Distinguishing itself by traversing sculpted dirt art and rowdy rainforest tracks, wild racing and arguably the most raucous crowds to ever grace a Crankworx (save perhaps Heckler’s Rock). Oh, and shoeys. This tropical paradise meets the ultimate experience in mountain biking and is a must for any visitor. Further info, schedule and tickets at crankworx.com/cairns
The Crankworx World Tour is a multi-stop series of mountain bike festivals, bringing together the best mountain bike athletes to compete in elite-level competitions in a variety of disciplines. It began in Whistler in 2004 and its festivals have since grown into the largest events of their kind in mountain biking. crankworx.com
