Outline

Rocky MTB Club presents one of the few one-day XCM races in Australia when this annual event returns to First Turkey MTB Reserve on Saturday 21 June 2025, kindly sponsored by Trek Rockhampton!

To take advantage of the cool winter weather, this daytime race will be held from 10am to 4pm, which also allows riders to enjoy the scenic course, consisting of three laps of a 20km circuit with over 400m elevation - 60km and 1,200m in total. Tackle it solo if you're keen or make up a team of two or three and share the challenge!

Rocky MTB Club aims to be inclusive with separate categories for a variety of ages, genders and even e-bikers!

The course is mainly on green and blue rated trails, but there is a short black downhill section (Dog Leg) that can be walked.
