2028 Olympics: First information about the MTB course in Los Angeles: Click here

The location of the mountain bike course for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles was recently announced. According to the organisers, the course, which was created in the hills of the San Gabriel Valley in Industry Hills, promises a "non-stop, action-packed" experience and is characterised by challenging terrain with drops, jumps and varied sections. The course utilises the natural features of the hilly landscape and has been equipped with various technical sections, which should be challenging for the athletes as well as offering spectators spectacular views of the competition.

Track features and spectator area

The proximity to the city of Los Angeles and access to the idyllic nature surrounding the metropolis are particularly emphasised. The course, which is integrated into the hill, includes various technical sections with drops and jumps as well as varied terrain. When planning the course, the organisers placed particular emphasis on easy access for spectators. Special areas have been created to allow fans to get up close to the action and follow the riders.

Integration into the overall Olympic concept

The mountain bike course in Industry Hills is part of the 2028 Olympic Games concept, in which the organisers are relying on a mixture of existing sports facilities and temporary competition venues. By using the natural topography of the region, the organisers can guarantee both a challenging race for the participants and take into account the sustainability aspect, as no completely new infrastructure needs to be created. The exact details of the route length and elevation profile have not yet been published, but are expected to follow in the coming months as planning for the 2028 Olympic Games progresses.
