Event Overview
The Kalamunda 50 Mountain Bike Race is held on 21 June 2026 with a 9:00am start from New Leaf Gallery in Bickley, Western Australia. The event offers a 50km main race plus a 25km option. Organisers note the course map is not released publicly ahead of race day, and the route is designed to showcase a large proportion of singletrack in the Perth Hills trail network.
Event details are based on the 2025 edition and may be subject to change for 2026.
What the Course Demands
With the route not published in advance, riders need to be prepared to respond to course markings and manage pacing without full course-specific planning. The event uses electronic timing, with timing locations placed part way through the course. Expect frequent changes in speed and rhythm typical of a singletrack-focused race, where positioning, safe passing communication, and staying attentive through the full distance matter.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits mountain bikers comfortable riding in a busy race environment and making decisions on the fly when the full route is unknown. The 50km option is a better fit for athletes aiming for a longer, sustained effort, while the 25km provides a shorter race format for developing racers and juniors within the listed age categories. E-bike entries are offered as a separate category.
