Event Details

Glenwood Low-Key Gravity Weekend

Ready for a weekend of maximum gravity and minimum stress? We’re teaming up with our friends from WSMTB to bring you an accessible, shuttle-assisted race weekend at the iconic Glenwood State Forest.

Forget the “elite-only” pressure—this event is designed for everyone. We’re utilising Glenwood’s most popular easy to intermediate flow and technical trails, including Trail of Awesomeness, Magic Mushroom, and the new True Blue, to ensure a fun, progressive racing environment.


The Plan:

Saturday: Free practice runs on the race stages, plus full access to the rest of the Glenwood network, shuttle-assisted.

Saturday Night: Camping at the Gravity Event Centre. Relax by the picturesque Boree Creek and swap stories before the big day.

Sunday: The clock starts. Multiple timed, shuttle-assisted runs to find the smoothest lines in the forest.

The Catch: Because we want to keep the shuttle turnaround fast and the vibes high, entries are strictly capped at 80 riders. Don’t wait—secure your spot and join us for a weekend of laps, laughs, and local racing.

Support the Trails: This is a volunteer run event, with all profits put towards the maintenance of the trails everyone loves.


Parking

Parking is located at the Glenwood Forest Gravity Centre. Entry is via Boree Road, approximately 3km in.
