🚣 The Paddle Leg – Where the Race Finds Its Rhythm 🌊

After conquering the mountain bike, it's time to trade dirt for water and settle into one of the most memorable legs of the Gloucester MSR TriChallenge. The 11km paddle down the crystal-clear Barrington River is more than just a transition between disciplines - it's an adventure in its own right. Surrounded by towering gums, rolling farmland and the stunning Barrington landscape, you'll need to find your rhythm, read the river and keep moving downstream. It's peaceful, challenging and incredibly rewarding all at once.

Whether you're chasing a podium or simply looking for an unforgettable day outdoors, the paddle leg is guaranteed to be a highlight. It's a chance to soak up one of Australia's most beautiful river systems while pushing yourself in one of the country's longest-running multisport races. This isn't just another race - it's an experience you'll be talking about long after you cross the finish line. 🌿💪🚣

Gloucester
Famously scenic since 1826.

Beautifully located in its own valley and watched over by rocky sentinels, Gloucester is the closest town for adventures in the Gondwana rainforests of Barrington Tops.

A scenic one hour drive from the Pacific Ocean coastline brings you to Gloucester via the Bucketts Way.

It’s one of the state’s oldest tourist drives, and for good reasons: short drives around the district take you to dramatic mountain ranges and picturesque valleys and rivers.

Gloucester is a small country town with a remarkable backdrop of the Buccan Buccans (Bucketts Mountains) surrounded by productive farms and high forested mountains.

It's the closest town to renowned wilderness destinations in the Barrington Tops parklands, Woko and Copeland Tops and home to Australia's longest running multisport race Gloucester Tri Challenge

5 reasons to lock in Gloucester Mountain Man before April 30 ⏰ and nail the early bird deal

1. Save cash (simple as that)
Early bird pricing disappears April 30. Same event, higher price if you wait.

2. Secure your spot
This isn’t a mass participation road race - entries are limited and it fills. Commit now or risk missing out.

3. Train with purpose
Nothing sharpens motivation like a real goal. Lock it in and you’ve got the perfect target through the cooler months.

4. It’s not your average multisport race
MTNB, River Paddle & Trail Run over real terrain. A course that actually challenges you. If you’re over predictable, this is your antidote.

5. Earn something that sticks
This is the kind of event you remember. Not just finishing - but how hard you had to dig to get there.

👉 Don’t overthink it.
Get in now before the early bird window shuts.
