R622 Trails is a two day stage race that will take you on the most unique and beautiful private track, through private farms, forests and wetlands. With views that will make you actually stop and get off your bike, we have some riders that have been with us from the very first edition in 2017 and they are yet to ride the exact same route over the years. The first day is approximately 60km and the second day is approximately 50km. We love single track, like LOVE it!. If we could make the entire race out of pure single track, we would. This our 8th year running and will hopefully will be our best. R622 is best known for its farm-style hospitality, affordability, a race village that gets to know you individually and a weekend of pure fun that keeps riders coming back every year. With a brand new dining shed and bar area being built, this years riders and supporters will be the first to test out the new and improved race village! We have also completely changed the two day routes and riders will experience two new days of completely new riding.
2023's implementation of tent hire was such a hit that this year we will be bringing back the tenting option with more tents to book, yay!
We know that not everyone is a top MTB cyclist (and very few get there without the help of their supporters) so we have the option of either rider or supporter packages so that the whole family can join in on the weekend.

Not keen to setup your own tent?
This year we have a limited amount of 2-sleeper (dome) and 4-sleeper (safari) tents which are available for you to add to your race entry. These will be setup with 2/4 foam mattresses for you when you arrive and you will just need to bring your own bedding and whatever luxuries you would like with you in the tent.
Refund Policy:
No refunds will be given for entries. Any medical conditions which arise will need to have a doctors referral letter and entries will be transferred to the following year. Please note that this must be communicated to the organisers at least 1 week before entries closing.
Come and join us! We are an affordable alternative to other stage races and we always try our best to make it the most amazing experience.
So get fit, get ready and become a 'Router'!
