Head Trainer Tony Williams won the first Hounslow Double (68k/22km) in 2015 and was 2nd in the Hounslow Monster (43km/16km) in 2023 so he knows the course well!

GEAR. We will be using this as a race day prep run and ask you to bring the Hounslow Classic Mandatory gear.

START/FINISH LOCATIONS. Perry's Lookdown Car Park.
DISTANCE. 18km with optional extra km or early turn around. Yes, It's only 18km but this is a tough run! The 18km course has over 1600m of elevation gain/loss. Optional turn around at Lockleys Pylon for a 11km/1200m gain/loss.

We’re back! Welcome to VIC100 2026
After an unforgettable debut in 2025, VIC100 returns in 2026 - bigger, better, and every bit as spectacular. This is Go4’s new signature 100km Blue Mountains
charity ride - created to challenge, to inspire, and to support mental health through Lifeline.
After the 2025 event debrief with Transport for NSW and NSW Police, we’ve been given the green light to open registrations for VIC100 which will be held on Sunday, 22nd of November 2026.
Your journey starts riverside at Tench Reserve, Penrith, and finishes in the beautiful gardens of the Victoria & Albert Guest House in Mount Victoria. In between - the rarest experience in Australian cycling - for one day of the year, Bells Line of Road and Darling Causeway completely closed to all through traffic.
Riders depart in four self-selected pace groups of up to 200, each escorted by NSW Police for a quick rollout to North Richmond in preparation for your first climb up Kurrajong Heights. On course, you’ll be supported by our great volunteers at our food and drink stops, mobile mechanics, St John Ambulance and on course marshals, and a finish-line festival worth riding for.
For those who need transport back to Penrith, in 2026, we have organised three dedicated event trains (Sydney Trains have promised no issues in 2026) to take you and your bike back to Penrith.
In 2026, we’re adding a 5th drink stop 18km after Mt Tomah and a Lanterne Rouge to help riders keep pace with the event time cut offs.
Want to commemorate the day in style? Add the 2026 VIC100 Event Jersey by Blackchrome to your registration and wear the colours of the only cycling event that takes riders on this legendary Blue Mountains route. Riders can choose to have jerseys posted, or receive on the the day before at Tench Ave or at Penrith Station on the day.
Click on this link to see the VIC100 Strava route.
VIC100 is proudly delivered by the volunteer team behind the Go4Broke ride, which has now, after our first VIC100 has raised over $600,000 for mental health and Lifeline. Every dollar you fundraise through VIC100 helps keep Lifeline’s critical services front-line services available for those who need them most.
We look forward to seeing you on the start line in 2026.

A trail running race at Hassans Walls Reserve had been on the minds of runners over the years as they explored the ridges on the Hassans Walls escarpments above
Lithgow. Blue Mountains Fitness proudly held the first trail run race on Hassans Walls in 2022 and we now have edition #6 - the 2027 Lithgow Ridgy-Didge Trail Festival ready to rock!
Make a weekend of it and visit the many awesome locations in the Lithgow/Seven Valleys area - Glow Worm Tunnel, Zig Zag Railway, Jenolan Caves, Lost City and much more - https://sevenvalleys.com.au/
Camping is available at the Event Hub/Start and Finish area.
Ridgy-Didge Trail Run Festival offers multiple distances to choose from:
5km, 10km, 22km, 30km, 42.2km Marathon and the totally awesome 50km Ultra Marathon.
The 50km Ultra has the same 2400m (+/-) elevation as the UTA50 so a it's a prefect training run 6 weeks out from UTA 2027. The 22km has the same elevation as the UTA22.
The 1.6km kids race is for under 12s. All kids will get a medal for finishing this race. 1st Boy and 1st Girl across the line will get trophies.
The various races will take you on dirt roads, 4WD trails, walking trails and mountain bike single tracks. You’ll run past many lookouts that give spectacular views of the Lithgow, Hartley, Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys.
The longer runs take on the thirteen ridges of Hassans Walls with varying elevation gain/loss on dirt roads, 4WD trails, walking trails and mountain bike single tracks. The other distances will be shorter and have less elevation gain/loss.
You get to run past many lookouts that give spectacular views of the Lithgow, Hartley, Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys.
