Victorian State Championship Series

XCO, or Cross country Olympic Format is one of the most well know and exciting disciplines of mountain biking. Cross country MTB became an Olympic sport in 1996 and is the only form of mountain biking practiced at the Olympics. With head to head racing, technical tracks and world class athletes, it’s an action packed event.

As the highest dragon boat event in Australia (approximately 1,600 metres above sea level), the Falls Creek Dragon Boat Regatta has been held at Rocky Valley lake for over a decade now, bringing together visitors, residents and dragon boat enthusiasts from all over to compete and join in the festivities.

The grassy banks of Rocky Valley Lake are a beautiful place to spend the day with the family and soak in the excitement of the races. Food and drinks will be available on the foreshore, plus on Saturday night the action continues with post-race dinners and parties throughout the village.

Can you walk from Falls Creek to Mount Hotham in a day? Yes, you can!

Tired of looking at the same wall on your treadmill, punching out the same old gym classes or running the same loop? Looking for a new challenge? Want to get outdoors and push yourself? Then this is the challenge is for you.

The Alpine walking trail takes you through the picturesque Alpine National Park, over rivers and past historic huts. The track is undoubtedly challenging, with a couple of very steep climbs, but it is absolutely achievable to those with a healthy fitness level.

32 kilometres. Walk, trek or crawl.

Peaks Challenge is one of the toughest and most rewarding experiences a road cyclist will ever have on a bike. Equivalent to a mountain stage of the Tour de France, Peaks Challenge is a 235km loop ride with 4000 plus metres of climbing and a 13-hour deadline.

Set across three of the Victorian high country’s most popular climbs, those ready to take on the challenge will tackle the ascents of Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham and finally ‘The Beast’ that is the back of Falls Creek.

Bicycle Network will have your back for training plans and rides, and comprehensive on-route support. Team Bicycle Network will guide riders across the finish line in their goal time.

Only those who cross the finish line within the 13-hour deadline earn the right to proudly call themselves Peaks Challenge finishers and claim the coveted finisher’s jersey.
