Basket Swamp Bash - 38km

 The Basket Swamp Bash is fast, scenic and seriously fun - 38km of gravel roads, flowing descents and beautiful granite country.

It's designed to deliver a proper adventure in a shorter format, making it a great option for adaptive riders, recreational gravel and mountain bike riders, and anyone wanting a solid ride without the long-course distance.

Expect downhill thrills, steady climbs, creek crossings and wide-open sections of fast gravel.

A steady 5km climb builds toward the final stretch, before a fast descent along Mt Lindesay Road returns you toward town. The final run down Rouse Street brings you back to the Showgrounds and into the race village atmosphere.

This course delivers challenge, scenery and fun in equal measure.

Adaptive Riders

The Basket Swamp Bash is suitable for adaptive riders and hand cycles. The creek crossing has a concrete base with good entry and exit points. Our team monitors conditions leading into the event and will communicate any changes. Support crews and volunteers are positioned along the course to assist if required.

IMPORTANT – START LOCATION

The Basket Swamp Bash starts on Lindrook Road, with parking available at Talmoi Road. Where possible, we recommend arranging a drop-off at the start with family or friends.
