Australia
AU — New South Wales
Bilgola
The original lockdown-forged loop. Road, trail, stairs, hidden links and the spiritual home of 500 Over 10.
AU — Canberra
Black Mountain
A draft Canberra course from Brynn: 10.2km, 497m of vertical, two decent climbs, two shorter efforts, and three missing metres to find.
AU — Canberra
Mount Ainslie
Brynn’s second Canberra contribution: 10.03km, 504m of vertical and three climbs packed into a draft route waiting for its first official hit-out.
AU — Lord Howe Island
Lord Howe Island
A spectacular island prospect where paradise, limited trails and vertical metres are forced into the same brutal 10km idea. George says it can't be done. A trip is needed to confirm his claim.
AU — Queensland
Noosa
Beautiful, brutal and sweltering. A Noosa National Park holiday project designed to make you sweat and look a little unhinged in paradise. Requires some fine-tuning and course adjustments, which — understandably — requires a few more excuses to get to Noosa 😬
AU — New South Wales
Tamworth
A country-course interpretation of 500 Over 10, proving the format can spread well beyond the Bilgola republic. The purest expression of the format in terms of the numbers. And yes, it's a continuous loop.
