Introduction

This is a new event for the CORC club scene. For the CORC 50km (The long ride) the race will take in familar trails in Kowen and Sparrow and be run as two 25km loops, with the second loop taking in the epic Stairway to Heaven climb. We will also have the CORC 25km (The short ride) which does the first loop only.

Note:

• These are tough endurance laps with serious climbs, if you have doubts about your fitness do the 25kms loop. We do have time limits in place, 2 hrs for starting the 2nd loop and 4hr 15min overall.
• This event is a club race run with volunteer resources. Entry numbers will be capped at 175 entrants. We don’t expect to reach this cap based on numbers at other club events but should the cap be reached we will stick to it.

Location

The start and finish will be near the underpass at the Sparrow Hill side, taking in a few trails in Sparrow before heading into Kowen for the majority of the lap(s).
