  • Sunday, 20 September 2026

This premier event of the year is being held at Marginata, in springtime with lots of wildflowers. The terrain has a mix of open forest with small sections of slower running vegetation and some reduced visibility. The map covers both sides of Yarra Road, with the eastern side recently burnt by a prescribed fire, which makes for faster running and better visibility. With the burn off, the clearings will not be as easy to recognise.

Entry for championship classes is now closed, but some courses are available for enter-on-day.

Courses: 11x Championship courses and 4x EOD courses.
Registration: For championship, pre-entry required via Eventor online by Sunday 13/8/26.
Enter on day (EOD) for non-championship courses (4x courses available) C3, C9, C10 and C11.
Start Times: 9:30am for allocated championship courses.
Courses Close: 1:00 pm.
Facilities: Toilet.
Bring: Water, food, sunscreen, O gear and leg protection.

More information, including directions to the event and the Information flyer, is on Eventor.
