Event Overview
The Australian Time Trials Association’s Good Friday event at Champion Lakes is scheduled for Friday 3 April 2026. The program centres on a 20km time trial, with shorter 5km, 10km and 15km options also available. It is held on the established Champion Lakes circuit used regularly for ATTA racing, with event services such as parking, registration and toilets located near the start area.
What the Course Demands
Champion Lakes is described by ATTA as a pancake-flat, fast course based on a 5km loop around the lake. With repeated laps to make up each distance, pacing discipline and consistent speed matter more than changes in terrain. Although the path is closed for the event, ATTA notes riders may still encounter other users and should be prepared to give way when required.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits riders who want a measured, controlled effort in a time trial setting, including those building experience over shorter distances and those targeting a sharper 20km. The multiple distance options make it practical for newer competitors, juniors, and riders returning to racing. It also fits athletes who prefer predictable lap-based courses for testing form.
