2026 Cape to Cape MTB - Western Australia

The Cape to Cape MTB begins at Cape Leeuwin lighthouse and covers four days of riding north through Western Australia’s Margaret River region to Cape Naturaliste. It is a mountain bike stage race of approximately 200km with about 2,500m of climbing, divided into daily rides ranging from 34km to 59km. The event is Australasia’s longest-running and largest multi-stage mountain bike endurance race, designed for riders beyond the elite: anyone with reasonable fitness and solid MTB skills can complete it. The route crosses coastal trail networks, National Parks, forest, bush, farmland, mountain bike parks, and private land normally off-limits to riders. The riding combines fast singletrack, farm tracks, groomed downhill sections, fire trails, and short road links, with vineyard stops and brewery finishes providing a Margaret River character to the week. Riders can enter as pairs, race villages manage washing, repairs, food, and next-stage preparation, and the finisher medal functions as a bottle opener.
