Details:
The IAU has conducted a biannual Trail World Championships event since 2007. From 2015, an annual event has been held. The inaugural Trail World Championships event took place in Huntsville, USA on 8 December 2007.
AURA will continued to select teams to represent Australia at future Trail World Championships. AURA has a desire to send both a large team and a strong team. Details of future championships and the selection process will be available from this page via documents linked below.
There are numerous events on the AURA race calendar that can be used for qualifying. Generally, subject to the performance, the winner of the National Trail Championship event will gain selection to the team. Some non-AURA events may be considered for qualifying, including some overseas events. Those seeking to qualify for the team at a non AURA listed event are encouraged to seek approval from AURA first, to ensure that their result will be considered. The IAU status of the event and formality of measurement and timing are paramount in any case where a non AURA listed event may be considered for qualifying. Immediately past World Championship events are always valid for qualifying purposes.
