PLEASE NOTE THAT FULL FACE HELMETS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL GRAVITY ENDURO EVENTS
What do the different events & categories mean? Which event do I enter?
We have a few different styles of event, to cater for riders of all abilities. As a rule of thumb the descriptions below represent the average difficulty and length of each style of event/category…
St.Lukes Challenge Events are run on a shorter, easier courses and are held on the Saturday afternoon. These are a great introduction to the sport and recommended for beginner riders. Courses average 4-5 short stages, with a total of approx. 15-20km of riding. These are a friendly, welcoming event that is aimed at increasing participation in the sport.
Giant Tas Gravity Enduro SPORT CATEGORY is designed for riders that want to step up from the ‘CHALLENGE’ events or are intermediate level riders looking to enter the sport. These events are similar to the main event but with a reduced numbers of stages (usually 4), climbing, and distance.
Giant Tas Gravity Enduro EBIKE CATEGORY is the same course as the ‘age categories’ but with an extra ‘eBike ONLY’ stage that is usually a blue to black technical climb. Note that eBikes will be randomly checked for speed limiter modifications, and if exceeding Australina standards the riders will be disqualified from the event.
Giant Tas Gravity Enduro AGE CATEGORIES are the big dance. The full course is generally around 25-35km long with up to 1000 metres climbing. This event is aimed at intermediate to advanced riders and usually contain 4-6 stages. The ELITE category includes an extra ‘PRO’ stage aimed at challenging advanced riders well aquainted with double black trails. This event is aimed at fostering the talent in our sport to ready them for the national and international stage.
All ‘Giant Tas Gravity Enduro Categories’ are held on Sunday morning, and courses will be taped for Saturday practice runs. Some of this years events will include a shuttle depending on the location, hence the difference in prices between different event locations.

CATEGORIES
Which category do I enter?
If you are a competent rider, enter your age category.
If you are an awesome rider, enter ELITE
If you are new to the sport and competing for the first time, we recommend our CHALLENGE EVENTS. These events are low key, no pressure, short course and a great introduction to the sport. These are run on the opposite day to the main event.
New to the sport but looking for more than a challenge event? Try our SPORT category.
ELITE category / stages
All events will have a special ELITE ONLY stage with some EXTRA GNAR 😮
Depending on the event, competitors may be welcome to ride the ELITE stage for a giggle. You will get a time for this stage but it will not be included in your overall time, it will be for bragging rights only.
