The National MTB Marathon Championships are set to take place on Saturday 8th June starting from the Selkirk rugby club and offer a variety of courses.

There will be a choice of three courses at the Selkirk MTB Marathon, so something for everyone:

• 25km (Age 16+)
• 50km (16+)
• 75km (18+)

All the courses are on a fantastic mix of natural singletrack, twin-track forest roads, ancient drove roads, hand-made singletrack, and trail centre stuff (75km course only). There's a decent chance that you'll visit the valleys of the Rivers Tweed, Yarrow and Ettrick, and of course, the high points in between. So, expect lung and thigh busting climbs that are rewarded with epic grin-inducing descents. The views from the tops are amazing - take a few seconds to wipe the sweat from your brow and take in a full perspective of the incredible Scottish Borders and Southern Uplands area.
