Rebecca Henderson, Dan McConnell and Jared Graves are the star attractions heading to New England.
Canberra ace Henderson is the rider to beat in the women’s elite section.
A multiple national champion, Henderson has competed with distinction at the past two Olympic Games in London and Rio De Janeiro.
There is no more in-form rider in the national series than men’s elite powerhouse McConnell, a fellow Territorian.
McConnell has won the two National Series events staged this season and has been touted by officials as the benchmark rider for the weekend.
Graves, a product of Toowoomba, boasts a world championship in four cross and is using the Armidale event as preparation for the World Enduro Titles.
The national series event is at the Sport UNE course on the weekend of January 28-29 from 8.30am each day.
