Other notables in the men’s field who will compete for podium spots are Luke McKenzie (AUS), Tim Reed (AUS) fresh from the Asia-Pacific CHampionships win in the Philippines, and Joe Gambles of the USA.

Daniela Ryf is the heavy favorite in the women’s race, and is aiming for a 3-peat, being the champion in 2014 and 2015.  She will be challenged by 2-time champion Melissa Hauschildt (AUS) and former champion Leanda Cave (GBR).   Other top names in the women’s field include Canadians Heather Wurtele and Magali Tisseyre, Lindsey Corbin and Laura Bennett of the USA and Radka Vodickova (CZE).
