The organizers shared what's in store for this year's Dirt Weekend Invitational through a press conference held at Skinny Mike's Sports Bar in Bonifacio Global City. Greater things are bound to happen for the cycling community as it pioneers a sanctioned race on this invitational cycling exhibition. Cross Country (XCO / XCR) and Four Cross events comprises the two-day cycling competition.

Since the event will be observed by representatives from the world and the country's national federation, all participating cyclists are required to secure a national federation license. The said competition will be judged by the Union Cycliste Internatiole (UCI) Commissaries Beatrice Lajawa of Malaysia and our very own Oscar Rodriguez. In addition, the mountain bike event is organized according to the UCI standards and specific regulations. The competition hopes to give birth to new qualified riders to compete in the international arena.

Among the local squads participating are Bikeworx, Sabak, Potato Corner, Yellow Cab, KTM, John Wilkie, EXO (Executive Off-Road Cycling Association), Cycleline (Mindanao) and Prima / Isuzu D-Max. Moreover, some members of the current and former national team joining the weekend competition are Eusebio Quiñones, March Aleonar, Frederick Feliciano and Alvin Benosa.
