⚙️ IRON CLASS — BIG ROCKS BEATDOWN ⚙️

Been watching Hard Enduro from the sidelines thinking, “I’d love to have a crack… but Bronze looks a bit wild”? 😂
Iron Class is for you.

📍 Big Rocks Bush Retreat
📅 29th & 30th August
🏁 Round 3 — The Great Divide East Coast Hard Enduro Series

Iron Class is designed as the stepping stone into Hard Enduro — still proper tracks, still challenging, still plenty of laughs… just without some of the carnage you’ll find in Bronze, Silver and Gold. 🤘

We’ve put a heap of work into the Iron track for Big Rocks and it’s shaping up mint. If you can confidently trail ride and you’ve been thinking about having your first crack at a Hard Enduro event, this is the class to enter.

No pressure to be a hero.
No need to be a gun racer.
Just bring your bike, have a crack and see what Hard Enduro is all about.
And once you’ve survived Iron… we’ll start talking about Bronze. 😉😂

🚨 CALENDAR UPDATE 🚨
Round 5 has had a date change.

❌ 10–11 October
✅ 24–25 October

But that's not the biggest news...
Introducing the Esk Eliminator.

This won't just be another hard enduro. We're throwing the rule book out and building something completely different. A format we've been working on for a long time, designed to keep riders under pressure from the first flag to the last.

No one in Australian hard enduro has run an event like this before.

We'll keep the details under wraps
for a little longer... but if you enjoy technical riding, strategy, and a whole lot of pressure, make sure 24–25 October is locked into your calendar.

Trust us... you're going to want to be part of this one. 👀🔥

North Queensland is bringing the heat. 🔥

While we're busy preparing for Round 4 – Outback Assault at Mount Molloy, one of our own is over in Romania showing the world what Aussie hard enduro is all about.

Sandon "Sando" Kerswell, one of our North Queensland track markers, is absolutely dominating the Silver Class at Red Bull Romaniacs. What a phenomenal effort, and one we're all watching with plenty of pride. 🇦🇺

Now imagine what's waiting for you at Mount Molloy...

With Sando, Gold Class rider Cooper Miller, and an incredible crew of local landowners and volunteers helping shape the event, you can guarantee the tracks are going to be something special. These are the people who live and breathe hard enduro, and they're pouring that passion into creating an unforgettable weekend.

If you've been thinking about making the trip north... this is your sign.

Outback Assault is going to be one you won't want to miss. 👊🏍️ Entries and Details will be out soon!

Congratulations Sando! Keep flying the Aussie flag—we'll all be cheering you on! 🇦🇺💪

Our favourite photo from Round 2. ❤️🏁
There’s something pretty special about this moment.

Bayden waving the chequered flag as Hudson takes the win in Junior B Petrol. Two young riders sharing a moment they’ll probably remember for a long time.

This is exactly what The Great Divide is about. Yes, we love the racing, but it's also about mateship, families, and seeing the next generation of hard enduro riders having an absolute ball.

Now it's your turn...

📸 Drop your favourite photo from Round 2 in the comments. Whether it's an epic hill climb, a spectacular crash, a finish line moment, your camp setup, or just a photo that sums up the weekend—we'd love to see it.

Let's fill the comments with the moments that made Round 2 one to remember. 👇🏍️💨
