Mountain Bike Centre
Stadium Mountain biking facility used in Rio cycling events
Cyclists visit this Rio de Janeiro-area mountain-biking facility for off-road trails and technical practice; local riders and tour operators use it for day sessions and skills training.
The Mountain Bike Centre is a competitive off-road cycling venue in the Deodoro sporting complex of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, established and used for international events including the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The facility comprises a purpose-built cross-country mountain-bike course with technical climbs, descents and man-made features designed for spectator viewing and broadcast. It is used for competitive events and for spectating during large competitions rather than as a public leisure trail.
The course was developed and upgraded as part of venue preparations for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and has since been used for occasional BMX and mountain-bike competitions and training.
Sited in the Deodoro district in the northwest of Rio de Janeiro, the centre sits within the larger Deodoro sporting and park complex used for multiple Olympic disciplines.
- Olympic history: hosted the Olympic cross-country mountain bike events during the 2016 Summer Olympics.
- Location and spectator access: located inside the Deodoro sporting complex with spectator areas and temporary event infrastructure.
