Our challenge
Starting at 6am at The Trailhead at the Pavillion, we will only have 1.8km to warm up before the first climb up Emily’s Spur (1.7km, 440m+) to the summit of Mystic. Then they will descend some technical MTB single trails and dirt roads to the Bakers Gully Aid Station. From here the race turns upwards again via Middle Track (2km with 510m+), a technical climb with steep sections. The first 10k of the race is the hardest, with over 1000m+ of vertical gain.
The Race then makes its way around to Clearspot Aid Station, before the long undulating descent of Snake Ridge. Next awaiting is 3km of road across the Buckland Valley before starting the climb up Keatings Ridge, our entrance into the Mount Buffalo National Park. Next the Big Walk awaits, with 10km and 1000m+ of climbing, taking us on a journey through the steep lower slopes, to the gently pitched single track in the middle, to the rocky sections around Mackays. From here we begin the 28km of the course on the Mount Buffalo Plateau where you traverse lands that home plants found nowhere else on earth. We then summit the Horn at over 1,723 metres to 360’ degree views of the National Park plateau and the Australian Alps, looping our way back to the Chalet past Mt Dunn, the reservoirs and the Monolith Track. We will retrace your steps over Keatings Ridge and through the Buckland to the bottom of Dingo Ridge Climb, and the final 88km into the race, will involve 757m+ over 6.3km to Clearspot.
From the bottom we will head down Ballroom court all the way to our long awaited finish line at the Pavillion in Pioneer Park!
Why are we doing this?
Jacinta: The challenge of pushing myself beyond my limits, and the opportunity to raise money for Anchor, which supports young people experiencing homelessness, has attracted me to complete this challenge. Combining a personal test of endurance with a cause that truly matters makes this event even more meaningful. Bass and I share the same belief that no young person should have to experience homelessness. Anchor does incredible work providing support, housing, and opportunities for young people doing it tough. If we can endure one day of suffering to help change someone’s future, it’s worth every step!
Bass: I’ve always had a passion for running and the outdoors, and this is a great way of helping my very good friend Jacinta and her foundation to provide shelter and protection to youths in need.
