After a rest in 2024, we’re excited to be back at Buxton for a great double header weekend with the Shifty Fifty Buxton 50 on Saturday and Hux at Bux Flow Duro on Sunday.

For round 2, you can expect some adrenaline-pumping adventure at one of Victoria’s premier MTB destinations.

Nestled in the heart of the stunning Yarra Ranges, this race will test your technical skills, endurance, and mental toughness as you navigate some challenging and flowy sections.

Oh and don’t forget eMTBs are welcome!
