Countdown to event

Welcome to the home of Cape to Cape MTB, Australia’s largest and most popular four day MTB stage race. Based in the South West of Western Australia, this iconic riding experience includes access to stunning private trails, vineyard visits, brewery finishes and some of the warmest hospitality the region has to offer.

Starting off with Cape Kids and our Open Invitational Prologue on Wednesday the 14th October at Rider Registration and heading into four day stage race.

Starting the official ride at Cape Leeuwin lighthouse and finishing four days later at Cape Naturaliste, the course makes its way through a network of trails along the coast, through National Parks, forest, farm lands, mountain bike parks, and bush before heading up to the northern cape of the South West WA region.

There’s nothing too technical and it's ridable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and MTB skills. Check out the course overview.
