For the first time in 7 years the long course will take in the south west and take riders down to Cape Leeuwin and back through the famous Margaret River wine region. The course will show case the diversity of our state taking in the central wheatbelt, great southern and Darling range too!
Registration via MAProgress will be up soon. Check your phone providers coverage of the course as you may be able to use your phone as a tracker. Hire trackers will also be an option.
A detailed journey planner including distances between towns / services and what options riders will find will also be provided. Note this isn’t always exhaustive so I always encourage participants to also do their own research. Nothing more demoralizing than arriving into a town dark and tired to find everything is shut !

Rolling hills on mainly quiet country roads

Race Entry

Entry is free . Riders are encouraged to register via MAProgress so this will incur a cost.
