Event Details
Course Description
The Blue Mountains race offers two options. The Classic Course weaves 15‑25 km of purpose‑built single‑track mountain bike trails, 7‑12 km of rugged trail running and 2‑4 km of kayaking on the Nepean River, taking most teams 4‑6 hours. The Novice Course trims the distance to 10‑15 km of biking, 3‑5 km of running and 1‑2 km of paddling, typically finished in 2‑4 hours. Along the way you’ll glide past Glenbrook Gorge, explore Aboriginal art sites and enjoy panoramic views from Euroka Clearing, where the start and finish are set amid picnic lawns and grazing kangaroos.
Getting There
The event is held at Euroka Clearing in Glenbrook, a short drive from Sydney via the M4 motorway. Parking is available on‑site near the start/finish area. For detailed public transport options and exact parking locations, please check the official event website.

October is spring in the Blue Mountains, bringing mild daytime temperatures of 15‑22 °C and occasional light showers. Expect fresh, crisp air and plenty of sunshine between clouds.
