The Outer Wombat is BACK!
We are excited to be back racing at Wombat State Forest. We’ve got two fully timed race distances to choose from, a 50 & 80 km route.
A 60-minute drive from Melbourne, this is an absolute riding Mecca, just next to the town of Woodend.
This is a doubleheader weekend, with gravel racing (or riding) on Saturday and the Wombat Classic Shifty Fifty on Sunday.
From the day’s riding, you can expect premium gravel roads, fast + smooth descents, and of course some BIG smiles.
You can either compete or complete this course. It’s fully timed with a podium at the end, so perfect if you’re looking to challenge your mates or yourself.

COURSE OVERVIEW
A brand new design, both routes comprise of well-maintained fire trails, gentle gravel, and quality gravel. Expect some scrubby bush and fast-rolling flats across the day.
On the long course, you’ll do 80km with just over 1,140 high metres across the day. An average rider would take around 4-5 hours to complete the route.
If you’d prefer something shorter, we also have the 50km race, with 641m of climbing.
On the long course, you can collect additional bottles and food at 15km when you pass through the event village.
- Long course: 80.8km/1,140m
- Short course: 50.8km/641m
