Sent 2 Summit is an adventure duathlon like no other, involving mountain biking and trail running.
There are three ‘legs’:
Prologue run - a 5km run off the start line, used to warm the legs up but mainly to spread the field out before hopping on the…
Mountain Bike - the ‘‘Send’. Or the ‘Plummet’. A 22km mountain bike ride that involves a little XC (cross country endurance) style riding involving a short dirt road loop around up towards the Buller Summit back via ‘Village Trail’ before joining the singletrack goodness of Gang Gangs, Picnic Trail and Wooly Butt (where you will get your flow on). There’s an aid station at Howqua Gap Hut, a short (3km) dirt road section (Circuit Rd), and then boom… down you go. The Drop. First down River Spur Trail and then on to the famous Delatite, where you need to hang on for dear life as you plummet towards Mirimbah Picnic Ground
Mountain Run - a 10km trail run from Mirimbah Picnic Ground, up Klingsporn Trail before diverting to an epic ridge run up the northern flank of Mt Buller all the way to the cherished summit. Then…another short plummet (or amble - the legs will be a little tired) down to the finish line at Mount Buller Village. Bar will be open.
This is an epic adventure in an epic place with epic views! Beginners welcome! Bike hire available on mountain if you need (pre-order).
Come and stay and play on Victoria's best summer adventure mountain: Mount Buller! The bar will be open for post event hydration.
