The course starts and finishes at the Seymour Racecourse, and enjoys 82% of quality gravel riding. There’s a flat, paved 2.5km start before turning left onto gravel roads. The course has been amended / improved for 2026, avoiding the rough (bluestone) and flood-prone section of East-West Hall Lane at the 7.1km mark. Rather you'll be travelling further north on Lambing Gully Road, and returning to the original course via Hall Lane. The amendment / improvement adds ~6km to the day's course.
At the 29.4km mark, the course turns left, and heads out on the first of two (2) 43km loops, before returning to Seymour. At the 33km mark, then again at the 77km mark, is the crux of the course; the Wicket Hill Climb. While only 1km in length, the section gains 125m and averages 11%.
The course is mostly rolling, enjoying wide open gravel roads interspersed with the relief of some short, paved road stretches. The elevation ranges from 155m above sea level up to 520m, when passing by the Wallaby Gully Flora Reserve. The finish is again made up of a short paved section before returning to the Racecourse and the event village. The course is 82% gravel.
