The Redback is a 4 day, 6 stage MTB race on the dusty trails surrounding Alice Springs in the very heart of Australia.

With an infinite trail network and blue skies that stretch to the horizon – it is the perfect mid-winter escape for single track die-hards.

What’s to love about The Redback?

• Easy race logistics – Stay in the one place throughout
• Conducted on the infinite single track network around Alice Springs
• Friendly, social atmosphere – Great for groups of mates + solos
• Beautiful mid-winter riding – under clear blue skies with low 20’s temps
• New trails & new super stages for 2020
• Delivered with a personal touch
• Owned & organised by riders for riders

The single track around Alice Springs really has to be ridden to be believed. If you haven’t been to Alice Springs before you’ll be blown away by the quantity and quality of riding.

“Each time I talk about this event to friends it is with the biggest smile on my face, lots of great memories that will last a lifetime.” Sarah B (2019 participant)
