2012 Marathon Challenge

Rumoured as Australia's most challenging marathon but unquestionably Australia's most rewarding, the 2012 Marathon Challenge will be held on March 18th at the picturesque Mt Avoca Winery, Avoca Victoria. In this its 3rd year all the great things you love are back and significant changes are afoot to make this event even more rewarding for all that enter. In 2012 the Marathon Challenge is offering a new distance as you build towards the full 90 kilometre distance. The new 65 kilometre distance will have four fully stocked feedzones for riders and takes in the full Pyrenees trail which its shorter 45 kilometres brother only has half of. The 65 kilometre course is not to be taken lightly. Its still got a whopping 2500 metres of climbing for its distance and has the majority of the events challenges. But if you have done the 45 kilometres in the past and still feel you're not ready for the full 90 it's a great steeping platform for you.
