Terra Australis Bike Epic

6,250 kilometres along the eastern regions of Australia starting at Wilsons Promontory at the southern tip of Australia and finishing at the northern most point at Cape York. Historically the race has been run North to South however no rider has finished since 2018 the first year the event was staged. The new start date is May 1 so riders can traverse the alpine regions before the winter snow season and arrive in central and north Queensland before the energy sapping high summer temperatures arrive. 

The Terra Australis Bike Epic is suitable for experienced multi-day ultra endurance riders who have a demonstrated capacity of enduring the constant daily challenges, dealing with the elements and one’s changing emotional space. In addition, they need to have the knowledge and capacity to prepare, plan and execute their ride with a clear understanding of their personal needs to remain hydrated and fuelled to undertake and complete the ride without any outside support other than that which is available to any fellow competitor from commercial business providers or public facilities along the route.
