Some History and Previous Results

A little history…Drawing on years of experience in participating in and helping organise races, our vision was to create a fun, challenging and, above all, inclusive race. From the first event in 2019 we knew we had all the ingredients right, and the women’s riding community of Victoria have given it the big thumbs up.
