Event Overview
Ipswich Scenic 100 is held on Sunday 29 March 2026, starting and finishing at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) Ipswich campus. Riders can choose from 25km, 50km, 100km or 160km options, with different start times across the morning. The event is run as a supported ride rather than a race, with on-course signage, marshals, lead and follow vehicles, and refreshment stops provided.
What the Course Demands
Across the longer routes the course heads west of Ipswich through Walloon and Rosewood before extending into the Scenic Rim on the 100km and 160km. The 50km is described as mostly flat with a few short rises, while the 100km includes undulating sections and a noted climb near Mt Walker. The 160km adds longer sections and a series of closely spaced hills later in the ride.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits riders who want a structured, well-supported day on open roads with multiple distance choices. The 25km and 50km options are appropriate for newer or casual riders working to a steady completion within the organiser time allowances. The 100km is better suited to riders who cycle often and are comfortable managing longer rolling sections. The 160km targets experienced riders seeking an all-day endurance challenge.
