vic enduro tour - falls creek

7-8 FEBRUARY 2026

The leading series of Gravity Enduro Races in Australia.
Taking place across the best venues in the heart of Australia's premier riding zones the Victorian Enduro Tour offers racers the opportunity to challenge themselves on some of the best riding in the Country.
A Gravity Enduro race is conducted around a set course that includes uphills and downhills (like any ride really), but in a Gravity Enduro you are only timed over the designated downhill segments, you can ride at your own pace to the top of the next segment and then race downhill again. These time-out segments allow you to wait for your mates and compare stories and then ride on together in a friendly, social scene until its time to drop the hammer and race downhill again.
The descents vary in technicality but if there are technical sections there is often an easier B-Line so riders of all abilities can get down fine. Junior riders often tackle a reduced course to take out some of the distance and technicality for less experienced riders (in line with Aus Cycling Guidelines).
So if you have not done a gravity enduro before then check out the Victorian Enduro Tour events and join the evolution.

alpine challenge

11-12 APRIL 2026

The Alpine Challenge is without doubt the toughest, most challenging, most spectacular and rewarding mountain trail run in Australia - if not the southern hemisphere, over four distances.
The 100 mile (160 kilometre) course takes in six major climbs with 7,600 metres of ascent and descent. Conquer Victoria's major peaks; including Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham, Mt McKay, Spion Kopje, Mt Nelse and Victoria's highest mountain, Mt Bogong, plus five river crossings.
Challenge yourself with the 100 kilometer course and over 4,000 meters of ascent and descent or the 60 kilometer course with 2,000 meters of ascent and descent.
For those undertaking the 42 kilometer run you will have only 900 meters of ascent - a great introduction to the Alpine Challenge, and for those starting out, they have three fully marked short courses of 10/16/25km.
Enter early this year as on-mountain accommodation will be limited.
