Just like previous races, this year is shaping up to be one of the best races on the NSW MTB race calendar. The mix of ultra-flowy trails, chill atmosphere and great facilities means that you and your friends will not have better fun for your hard earned.

The Kiwarrak Mountain Bike Park is located within the Kiwarrak State Forest approximately 7km Southwest of the City of Taree on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Well known as a tourist destination for families seeking the sun, sand and water, the Mid North Coast has also established itself as one of the hottest destinations for mountain bikers in NSW. 

Boasting nearly 70km of hand-cut trails established over 20 years, the Kiwarrak Mountain Bike Park features endless flowy trails, outstanding enduro-style gravity runs and more than its fair share of purpose-built structures and jump lines.​

Taree and the Manning Valley has much more to offer than just our terrific MTB trails. Why not stay longer and explore our natural wonderland?

CAMPING AT THE RACE

As the Kiwarrak Mountain Bike Park is located on State Forestry land, camping is allowed and it's free! Anyone can camp in the park any time of the year, but over the weekend of the PBM HARDROCK 6HR there will be toilets and water available to racers and riders from 7am on Saturday 24th September.​

PLEASE NOTE: Camping facilities at the Race Event Centre are primitive - There are no showers/running water/toilet blocks. The location is in the middle of a state forest. Campers will need to bring everything they require to last the weekend.​
