This October, over the course of one unforgettable week, push your limits on a self-supported 1260km course with 17,700m of elevation, on a mix of sealed and gravel surfaces.
The route runs in a giant loop from Wollongong on the stunning NSW South Coast along awesome country roads, Aussie bush, rivers and scenic valleys, and up into the majestic Snowy Mountain Alps.
Riders must complete the course within 157 hours, navigating the route, getting their brevet card stamped at each of the 3 Checkpoints along the way.
Entrants have the choice of entering as:
Solo, Pairs Team or 4-person Relay Team.
However you decide to ride, this epic challenge requires riders to be well prepared and manage rest and resupply along a fantastic route to complete the course.
