Held on the school grounds, the route requires riders to complete as many 6 kilometre laps as possible in the 24 or 6 hour race period. Featuring 50 meters of climbing per lap, the route is made up of jeep track, single tracks and sections across the car parks and sport fields of the school. Man-made obstacles provide additional challenges for those with the technical skills to take them on, while A and B lines are provided for each technical feature – allowing the less skilled riders to safely skirt the hazards.
Off the bike there will be a festive atmosphere throughout the event, ensured by food trucks and complimentary camping for all riders.
The action kicks off on Saturday morning, on the 13th of November at 10:00am for the 24 hour race; and at 14:00 for the 6 hour event. Prize giving will take place at 10:00am on Sunday morning.
