The event is being hosted by Team WORC and as ever will be a professionally managed and run affair.
Kilruddery was the opening venue of this years K-Capital Cup, which attracted a huge entry, and had an excellent series of fast singletrack sections and of course - ‘The Rock’.

The Nationals promises to be even better with work well underway on brand new sections, this race sees a return for the super-fast Belmont loop with the Belmont house being used in two directions.
