After a 5 year hiatus The CRAVE Mountain Bike Challenge is set to return on Monday 26 September 2022, set in the spectacular Wellington Dam National Park. Over 600 riders loved taking part in the last event, so make sure you enter ASAP, as numbers will be capped at 600. Entries are expected to open August 15.
CRAVE is Australia’s only long distance mountain bike event run almost entirely in a National Park, featuring the wild rapids and tranquil pools of the Collie River Valley beneath steep rocky outcrops and pristine iconic WA forest.
The National Park already has 40-50km of fast flowing scenic and challenging singletrack all recently added to the Park and upgraded as part of the Wambenger trail system.
The Wellington National Park has been earmarked for major future trail investment, to become a Mountain Bike Network of National and potentially International significance.
The CRAVE Mountain Bike Events start and finish at the Bottom of the trail system, opposite the Wild Bull Brewery, overlooking the picturesque Ferguson Valley and Indian Ocean.
Parking will be at the soon to be open prestigious Hope Springs Farm Bed and Breakfast Lodge adjacent to the trail system, with its own squash court, indoor pool and spa.
With 5 different distance events and trail types over 6km, 25km, 40km, 50km & 90km, the CRAVE Mountain Bike events will cater for everyone from beginners, kids, families, weekend warriors and expert Mountain Bike Riders.
