Event Overview

Australia’s newest Epic Series MTB stage race

Event Date: 24 - 27 July 2025

Reef to Reef takes place over four days in the heart of Tropical North Queensland.

Starting on the reef fringed Coral Sea coast it quickly heads inland across a network of trails through tablelands, hinterland, farm lands, MTB parks, and tropical rainforest before finishing back at the coast four days later. Each day’s stage has its own unique terrain and character to keep things interesting with a mix of fast flowing single trail, farm track, groomed downhill trails and fire trails – many through private land that can only be ridden while racing the Reef to Reef.

For 2025 we are reviewing the courses from last year and listening to your feedback. Locations will stay the same but adjustments to be made to Stage 3 at Atherton to reduce the kms and vertical climbing to make the ride achievable. Tracks will have some technical parts to them, enough to get your attention. We aim to make the event achievable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and MTB skills.

In 2025 we will not be continuing the teams classification.  This will mean that we can increase the prize money for the individuals at the pointy end of the field.

It’s technically a race but up to you whether you want to ride full gas or just enjoy the terrain at a more leisurely pace. Beer will be available to purchase at the finish line, should you be feeling thirsty at the time.
