Like great gravel races gone before, the Sunday Creek Classic is as much a feat of epic endurance as it is a race.
And far out is it a race.
Starting in the sleepy farming town of Kenilworth on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia the 120km, almost entirely gravel route, heads towards Kandanga and Bella Creek and then west to Jimna before returning through Sunday Creek to Kenilworth. The route takes in everything from dry eucalyptus to sub-tropical rainforest forest and open cattle grazing country. And with 3,000 meters of climbing including the notorious climb to Mt Buggery, this event will be one of the toughest one day gravel events on the Australian calendar.
An EPIC 120km course
