10km Triumph

10km trail / 477m elev gain / 477m elev loss

Monday 27 April 2026 - 09h00

Not quite an easy leg shake out, but an awesome mix of a quad busting hill, a neverending hill - which of course does, and rewards you with expansive views - and glorious singletrack. This route explores a different side of Hogsback less often seen.

Good to Know
