The North West Victorian Motorcycle Club has hosted the Hattah Desert Race in its current format for more than 10 years.
It’s now recognised as one of the toughest and most popular off-road races on the national calendar.
In
2009, former winner Ben Grabham took out the event after a race-long
battle with five-time winner and local favourite Warren Smart.
Past
winners include former Australian Enduro Champion and current GNCC
competitor Glen Kearney and six-time Australian Enduro Champion Brad
Williscroft.
The race is fought out over eight laps of a gruelling 35km loop through
unique Mallee scrub land which includes everything from tight,
technical sections winding through trees to wide open blasts through
open paddocks and sand hills.
The
Hattah Desert Race runs over two days featuring juniors on the
Saturday, and ironman and pony express divisions in the senior race,
held on the Sunday.
The 2010 event has been held over the weekend of 2nd, 3rd & 4th JULY
