ADVENTURE seekers and adrenalin junkies will be out in force on the Hawkesbury River on October 22 and 23 for the 2011 Sydney Hills Dirt Fest.
Three hardcore events, two days off-road action and a $1000 prize for both men and women await experienced and novice thrill-seekers, with nine off-road events for everyone from children, families and weekend warriors, right up to off-road athletes.
The NSW Dirt Master and Dirt Mistress Championships are the highlight of Dirt Fest.
Dirt Master champions will take part in three long course events over the two days in the area surrounding Riverside Oaks Golf Course, including:
The Tre-X off-road triathlon series (700m swim, 20km mountain bike, 8km trail run), an 8km off-road trail run and a 50km cross country mountain bike event
The male and female with the best cumulative time over the three events will be awarded the title of NSW Dirt Master or Dirt Mistress plus a $1000 cash prize.
If an 8km run is a bit much, you can join a range of short course events and free children’s events:
Saturday morning: Tre-X off-road triathlon short course (350m swim 10km mountain bike 4km trail run), Tre-X off-road triathlon teaser course (150m swim 5km mountain bike 1.2km trail run), or Mud Rats kids’ fun run.
Afternoon: 4km trail run
Sunday morning: 20km XC mountain bike event and Mud Rats kids’ dirt bike event.
