Riders follow an alternate route to Stage 1 through the Boorara State Round mountain bike trail in mixed Jarrah and Karri forest and then alongside open farmland to enter the Boorara Gardner National Park, which is travelled in reverse to Stage 1. From there it is a dash for home through Forest Park with a loop around the Hollow Butt tree to finish at the Northcliffe Recreation Ground.

This is also the start for the 50km event. Leaving Bannister Downs, riders make their way through winding river country and then through the undulating terrain of the 1000 acre forest, Mottram Track and the Muirillup Rock trail. The undulations continue on the Cairn Rock walk trail through deep forest. Riders then make their way through experimental tree plantings on the Depot Road trail to complete the stage at the Boorara Tree.

Stage 2 commences with a downhill run to the Depot Road trail, across Canterbury Creek and through mixed forest on the Jodrell horse trail. Riders then travel through the Shannon National Park (Jane Formation) on a 1940s railway route amongst old growth forest. After the downhill run riders get a chance to catch their breath and take in the scenery through fairly flat terrain before tackling the undulating country across Boorara Brook and on to Bannister Downs for the lunch break.

Riders leave the Northcliffe Recreation Ground and then travel on undulating tracks through Forest Park to the Round Tuit mountain bike trail . The Round Tuit section is around a challenging hilly single track circuit. Leaving Round Tuit the riders continue on through the Boorara Gardner National Park across Boorara Brook on to the Karri Hazel Trail and then through the Boorara State Round mountain bike trail, which is a challenging section of mainly single track and on to the Boorara tree to end stage one. There is a service stop at the end of stage one with riders able to continue to the next stage in their own time.
