Entries are now open for the 10th anniversary event - see Entry Info page for details.

New for 2012 - 2 course options - we have added an 'Epic' course which continues climbing from just beyond the Kaiwara Saddle to traverse the tops before rejoining the existing course further down the Ethelton Valley.  This option will add approximately 30 minutes to the fastest riders times and significantly more (over an hour) for mere mortals.  The additional climbs are steep and the track much rougher - but the views are fantastic.  See the course page for a detailed description.        

The fastest male and female to complete the Epic walk away with $500 cash courtesy of Southern Cross Health Society.  Also $100 cash from the Cheviot 4 Square supermarket for the fastest male and female on the Challenge course.

The Kaiwara Classic is an adventure mountain bike race from Culverden to Cheviot...43km of mountain biking adventure over the Lowry Peaks Range via the Kaiwara Saddle before descending through the Ethelton Valley with a climb up the 'Random Spur' before the final fast 4wd track descent and the finishline in Cheviot.

The event is run by the Cheviot Lions Club with proceeds from the event being used to fund community projects in the Cheviot area.  All the organisers and marshalls on race day are volunteers.

The event seeks to provide an inviting country atmosphere for the whole family...mountain biking the way it should be.  We offer plenty of generous performance and spot prizes, including cash from Southern Cross Health Society, Chain Reaction Cycles vouchers, fresh meat packs (legendary) and bottles of Charles Wiffen wines.  

The Lions would like to thank the event sponsors listed to the right for their generous and on-going support of this event.
