THE WILD BRUMBY | 5 STAGES | 3 DAYS | 114K

The Wild Brumby is for riders ready to tackle the very best and toughest riding on offer in the Snowy Mountains.

It’s a hardcore challenge for hardcore riders which includes the Snowy Legends Descent where competitors depart from the top of Gunbarrel chair, in the shadow of Australia’s highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko to ride the full expanse of the Thredbo Valley to Gaden in Jindabyne.

This epic stage includes Ricochet, the new flowing, downhill trail at Thredbo resort, the upper TVT, the Lake Crackenback resort trails and the latest edition to the Snowy Mountains Trails, the Lower Thredbo Valley Trail. The lower TVT, is a technically challenging remote wilderness trail, where riders will discover more of the best technical riding found anywhere in Australia.

With the event hub at an altitude of 1,260m, The Wild Brumby includes 5 diverse stages covering 114ks of rugged mountain terrain including over 90% single track riding. It tests rider’s strength, speed, stamina, endurance and technical skills across constantly changing and varied terrain throughout the stages.

All this while also experiencing some of the most spectacular mountain vistas, expansive lakeside views, a chairlift to the top of Thredbo, epic suspension bridges, a race against our very own ‘Man from Snowy River’ and the most stunning river valley and mountain scenery found anywhere in the world.

EASY LOGISTICS WITH MINIMAL TRAVELLING

All of this diverse riding is located within an area of just 35km. This means that it’s easy and convenient for riders with a maximum travel time to stages of just 22mins.

No need to pack up and move each day, riders can choose accommodation options ranging from camping to 5 star in the area; or even choose to stay right in the heart of the action at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa or Thredbo Resort.
