For anyone who rides and runs this event run by Dungog Rotary is worth a look. It raises money for local causes in the area.

I competed last year and loved it.

It is a tough event, with the long course winners completing the race in around 3.5 hours.

However, the new for 2014 short course makes it more appealing to those wanting to try an easier multi-event

• Team and solo options in the long course (10k Run / 40k MTB / 6k Run)

• Solo only in the short course (6k Run / 12K MTB / 300mtr Run).

Great MTB trails on Dungog Common with most of the rocky sections excluded.

Just getting the word out in the interests of supporting one of the few local off road ‘adventure’ type races.

I do a fair bit of running in combination with riding so this sounds quite tempting.

I have a fundraiser ride in the Hunter region on the Saturday so will think about heading further up to Dungog. Sounds like a fun event in an area that I have not ridden.

Maybe post it as a ride meeting in the calendar to give more publicity?
