At the 2010 event we were honoured to announce a new award that carries the name of Australian mountain bike Champion James ‘Willo’ Williamson. The whole mountain bike community was devastated to lose Willo at the beginning of 2010.

Willo and his partner Niki were a massive part of the Cape to Cape MTB, having won the first two events and been a huge supporter to get the event up and running. The overall winner of the Cape to Cape MTB will now be awarded a medal named after James Williamson.

In 2009, the Johnny Waddell Beacon Award was introduced and awarded to the person who is the ‘shining light’ of the event.  This award carries the name of local mountain bike legend John Waddell and is open to any participant, irrespective of their level of mountain bike skills.
