BRIGADOON
SUPER CHALLENGE

27 APRIL 2025

The Brigadoon Super Challenge is back as one of just a few Perth-based, mass participation road cycling events. The 50km or 100km routes traverse the scenic hills and valleys of Brigadoon, the Swan Valley, and Gidgegannup, offering participants a mix of challenging climbs and picturesque landscapes. There’s also King and Queen of the Mountain honours to battle for!

The Event Village will be bustling with activity during and after the ride with local vendors providing food, coffee and other beverages as well as bike services and culture.

There’ll be plenty of activities for all so bring along the family for support and a great day out!

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE:

50km | the Rapids Challenge

Immerse yourself in the excitement of the ride and the stunning scenery – but with a much more accessible and civilised distance of 50km.

There’s still 600m of climbing though, so we recommend committing to a training plan, even if for a few weeks. Do that and you’ll crush this ride and have a brilliant experience to boast about when you get home.

100km | Søciety Super Challenge

Riders head out of the Swan Valley and through the infamous Death Valley as they cram 2000m of climbing into their legs in just 100km. We wouldn’t say only mountain goats need apply, but you’ll need to train for this one.

Savour the stunning views of the hills and valleys, Bells Rapids and Perth if you manage to take a breath. Go on, you’ve deserved it – but not on the KOM/QOM section!
