There’s a lot of history in Bathurst. Established in 1814, it is the oldest inland settlement in Australia. It was the birthplace of the Australian gold rush and the world’s best athletes will be looking to take a piece of that gold home with them in 2021. #bathurst2021 @AthsAust

Ever wondered how to pronounce Bathurst. Well we’re here to help. From the locals themselves, it’s Bath + est

[WXC Bathurst 2021 @bathurst2021]

We have the perfect people in mind to assist with this.

[Simon Mason @RensonSimon]

@bathurst2021 Excellent streaming coverage and competent commentary.

[WXC Bathurst 2021 @bathurst2021]

With Mount Panorama at our disposal, I think we should have hills covered.

[Maddest of dogs @mtmatuszak]

@bathurst2021 Hills, preferably along the lines of these legendary beasts:

Everyone loves mud.

Thanks for the suggestions. Some great things to focus on. We will give it our best to make these championships one to remember.

@bathurst2021 The most important thing @Aarhus2019 did right was make the event a celebration of XC: a nod to history, legends, tradition, etc. Mass participation race and media coverage were next. Don't make the course too gimmicky: natural surfaces, runnable, but rhythm busting.

[WXC Bathurst 2021 @bathurst2021]

We like the way you think. All positives for the event. Maybe we can play with some times and see what we come up with.

[The Real XC @Real_XC]

If @bathurst2021 ran a #WorldXC event at night, it would...
✓ Be the first World Cross event to do so (unique among all other iterations)
✓ Lesson heat/fatigue, as an XC Feb event in so. hemisphere would be HOT
✓ Prime for media ops.
✓ Help viewers across Africa, Europe etc.

The course in Aarhus was definitely the talk of the town!

What elements would you love to see back in 2021?

@TimHutchings1 @IAAF @AthsAust @Aarhus2019 Thanks Tim. We hope we can do the championships justice. Aarhus did a fantastic job and we will endeavour to build off the success of their event.
