The Wombat Classic is one of the iconic Shifty Fifty races and is a great season opener.
The bush here has some amazing fire trails and single track while featuring some scrubby bush and fast-rolling flats across the day for a bit of extra speed.
As always we have a 10 am start with a 25km, and 50km route option for riders, and eMTBs are of course always welcome. Oh, and we’ve got the Outer Wombat 50km gravel grind returning again in 2025.

COURSE OVERVIEW
We’ve got three great routes for you to choose from, the Fifty, Shorty and Smally. For the Shifty Fifty and Shifty Shorty, you’ll be riding on a great 25km loop through the bush and scrub here. You’ll ride a mix of fire trails and single track to keep you on your toes. As you’ll pass through the event village, Shifty Fifty riders can leave nutrition and hydration at the Start/Finish line.
We’ve also got the Shifty Smally, perfect for those looking to get into MTB riding and racing and offers a great pathway to the longer 25km and 50km routes. You can check out the route for the Shifty Smally here.
