Event Details
Course Description
Hidden Vale Adventure Park offers over 80 km of purpose‑built trails winding through 12,000 acres of forest, open paddocks and rugged ridges. Short courses like the 4.2 km Yakima Mini Epic and 4 km Yakima/99 Bikes Mini Epic follow easy blue‑marked tracks, perfect for first‑timers. Mid‑distance events (11.5 km Ground Effect Trail Run, 27 km Pure Sports Nutrition Trail Run) tackle varied terrain – from the technical Gully and 007 sections to the flowing Ripple Effect and Fairy Wren loops, with nutrition stations at key checkpoints. The flagship 89 km Flight Centre Cycle Epic and 58 km World 360 Pursuit test endurance across steep climbs, technical descents and scenic creek crossings, with colour‑coded bunting to guide riders. All courses feature well‑marked routes, regular water stops and stunning Queensland countryside views.

Hydration is still essential despite cooler temps, so carry water and electrolyte supplies.
