Are you ready for a multisport journey like no other? Ready for a multisport mission that takes you from the wilds of Victoria's regional mountain heartland, and races its way into the vibrant heart of Melbourne's metropolis to finish 155km later on the banks of the Yarra River?
Welcome to the Marysville to Melbourne Multisport Challenge, combining trail running, road cycling and flat water paddling into one epic event that will challenge amateurs and experts in equal measure from start to finish.
Start in the main street of Marysville with the following:
- 19km run
- 50km Black Spur road ride
- 41km St Andrews road ride
- 14km Yarra trail run

The course is open to all levels of athletic ability and may be completed as an individual doing all legs or as a relay team of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 people.
Tackle this lung-busting one day event and you will run through the beautiful Yarra Ranges with its towering tree ferns, cycle through Kinglake and surrounding towns on spectacular roads providing awe inspiring views to the city and then paddle on the serene Yarra River right into Docklands, finishing against a stunning city skyrise backdrop. This is a race that provides physical challenge and personal reward as a classic crusade for teams and individuals. We welcome you to take up the challenge.
