The Redback is the revamped and rebranded version of the event formerly called the Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro – we’ve just made a great event even better.

Changes incorporated into The Redback for 2015 include:

4 days and 6 stages racing (rather than 5 days, 7 stages)
Event dates that run over the weekend – Thursday to Sunday = less time away from work and family
The ability to race either all 6 stages or pick and choose just the ones you want to do
Updated stages to include the best of the best trails in the region

Combine these improvements with the easy race logistics, friendly atmosphere and jaw dropping trails of the old race and you have an incredible MTB event.

“I’ve done the event for the last two years and for me it is the perfect opportunity to escape the dreary winter weather and hit up some of the best singletrack in the country. Nothing quite beats the stage race lifestyle….riding, eating, sleeping…..and chilling out by the pool after each stage. It is simply living the dream!!!” James Downing, 3rd overall in 2013 and 2014 event ambassador
