At 196 meters, Mt Victoria has a myriad of trails that offer varying degrees of difficulty to cater for beginner riders through to those wanting a more challenging course. Each lap of the course is 6km.

Mountain bike competitors will get some of the best city views during the competition as the course weaves through the green belt reserve on Mt Victoria directly above the city.

Mountain bikes and helmets can be hired from Burkes Cycles or Mudcycles.
