The series travels across all seven of the Evocities with an esimated 4,200 people taking part.
This Sunday’s 100-kilometre High Hunnit will be the third last in the series with the final two races wrapping up in Dubbo and Orange.
The event in Armidale is set to attract 150 locals and travellers.
New England Mountain Bikers’ president Peter Hosking said with a 50 kilometre and 17-kilometre course available, in addition to the tough 100-kilometre marathon, there is something for everyone.
The shorter loops provide the perfect platform for news riders looking to get into the sport.
"We have actually managed to work with everyone and open up the western side of the pine forest which we normally don't ride in, that is all the walking trails,” Hosking said.
