2025 Jacks Ridge Triple X

On Sunday June 9th over one hundred riders turned out to tackle the Jack’s Ridge Cross Country MTB Marathon race.

The event featured two length races. A 50km half marathon and a lung busting 100km full marathon race for either teams or solo riders.

Each year during Triple X, the Brian Cockbain Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the fastest male and female riders of the 100km course. This year, like several previously, this trophy was taken out by Anna Beck and Jason English. Anna completed the 100kms in 5hrs and 9mins while Jason finished in just 4hrs and 29mins!!

Congratulations to Jason English and Anna Beck for winning their 4th and 3rd Brian Cockbain Perpetual Trophies!!! (Anna had to leave prior to the trophy presentation)
