Distance: 80km & 50km
Don't be fooled by the distance. This is the hardest marathon race you are likely to race this year! The first real climb of the day starts at the 20km mark and will see you gain 220m in just 1.8km (yes, that's right, it averages over 12%). It's so dam hard, that there's money at the top of it for the first man and woman to conquer it (and finish the race). And don't think that the climbing ends there. With over 2700m of climbing, the Brownie Points Burner offers more opportunities to test your pain threshold than any other XCM event in Australia. Of course, it's not all pain and suffering. We've also packed 32km of sweet, fun, fast, flowing singletrack, another 33km of doubletrack (where you'd be lucky to get a truck through) and finally 15km of groomed 4wd track in a course that will have you smiling as much as crying.
