September 12th
Gloucester Tri Challenge
Held on the second Sunday of September each year, the Gloucester Mountain Man Tri Challenge is somewhat unique, consisting of a 24 km mountain bike ride along mountain and 4WD roads, creek beds, cattle tracks, rainforest, country roads and open country. The second leg consists of an 10.7 km kayak paddle down the crystal clear waters of the Barrington River, and the third being an 8.8 km run leg along the scenic Thunderbolts Way and back into the Gloucester District Park.
The race starts at the southern end of Boundary Road, where cyclists proceed in a northern direction entering Thunderbolts Way then turning left onto Buckett’s Road until reaching Stanton’s property.
The bike leg then proceeds across country through Stanton’s property looping back and returning to Buckett’s Road continuing on in a southerly direction across the ford onto Stanton’s Lane and then turning right onto Faulkland Road. Taking a left turn off this road the track is now cross country through beef grazing land returning to the Faulkland Road across two more fords before turning right across another ford climbing the hill before cruising down to Rocky Crossing where the kayak leg begins.
The Kayak leg commences at Rocky Crossing and terminates at the Barrington Bridge where the run leg starts.
The run leg climbs onto Thunderbolt’s way, turns right onto the Barrington Bridge and returns to Gloucester ending at No. 1 Oval in the Gloucester Park.
