For 20 years riders have stood on the start line in Forrest thinking the same thing. The climbs looked manageable on paper. The descents looked fast. The singletrack looked fun.

Then the race started…


The Otway Odyssey and Great Otway Gravel Grind is one of Australia’s most celebrated off-road cycling weekends – two days, two disciplines, one unforgiving forest.

Set deep in the Great Otway National Park, the riding is world-class: fern-lined singletrack, lung-busting climbs, blitzing descents and gravel roads that roll all the way to the Southern Ocean and back.

It’s beautiful out there. It’s also hard. That’s the point.

There’s a race here for any rider willing to take it on. Pick yours.


MTB:

  • 100km Otway Odyssey — the benchmark. The one that started it all.
  • 50km Otway — the fast twitch race.
  • 43km E-Bike MTB — the Otways, electric. (NEW)
  • 30km Otway — the beginning of something.
  • 10km Pioneer & Adaptive — everyone belongs on a start line.

Gravel:

  • 106km GOGG — a world-class loop from Forrest to the coast and back.
  • 50km GOGG — the perfect intro to the beauty of gravel.

Forrest. Late February. Two days in the dirt.

Are you in?
