COURSE OVERVIEW
Returning after a break in 2026, the trails here always offer a cracking weekend of racing.
The Shifty Fifty is 50km of awesome riding and there’s a good amount of single track so you need to be strategic in your passing.
The Shifty Shorty will be a bit longer than the traditional 25km route, but the final 15km is a ripping downhill to the finish line.
PACK YOUR TENT
You can camp on-site with us at the Yack Sports Park at no charge. The showers and change rooms will be open Friday and Saturday night and there are power points for general charging if you need it in the rego room.
There won’t be any cooking or fridges available so this is a self-sufficient offer. Also, the Yackandandah Caravan Park is a great place and very close to the start line.
