As much an adventure as a race, the award winning Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro* packs in five days of incredible mountain biking along the sweet single tracks and trails that explore the inspiring landscapes of the MacDonnell Ranges, near Alice Springs.
There's plenty of camaraderie and good times as riders race through each of the seven stages, with mountain biking tales tall and true playing out daily in the Red Centre (and retold with poetic licence while recovering around the pool each afternoon).
