LISTING YOUR EVENTS

CORC manages a calendar of events for its members to promote CORC run events including; races, social rides and skills development. It is available to promote other events of interest to CORC members, this includes races run by other MTB clubs and commercial promoters. To list your events please email your event info to [email protected]. For commercial events the webmaster will contact you to arrange payment.

Guidelines for the Inclusion of Non-CORC Run Events

Not for profit events
MTB clubs and organisations running not-for-profit events are encouraged to submit their events for inclusion in the CORC calendar.
These events need to be:
  • directly related to mountain biking likely to be of interest to the CORC members
  • run on a not-for-profit basis
  • a special event (ie not your club’s regular races series)
  • be in locations our members could reasonably get to
 All events submitted will be assessed on their merits and selected events will be posted free of charge.
 
Commercial events
CORC does include events run by commercial promoters in the calendar. These need to complement CORC’s activities and be compatible with our existing sponsorship relationships. This means that events that could be seen as direct competitors to CORC run events, like the Scott Australian 24 Hour MTB Championships, would not be considered. There are fees associated with advertising commercially run events. Small events, such as one of skills camps, are $25 per listing. Larger events, such as one day and 24 hour races, cost $50 per listing. CORC also has a number of other promotional opportunities including; two banner style advertising spaces available on the homepage and two popular Facebook groups. Please contact the CORC webmaster to discuss options and pricing.
