EVENT HISTORY
The first Downhill series was held here at HVAP in 2026 with the aim to bring grassroots events back to SEQ. The feedback from all the riders was amazing and so positive, we are committed to make it even better in 2027.
Set just an hour west of Brisbane on the privately-owned trails of Hidden Vale, Grandchester, the event unfolds across 80+ km of purpose-built tracks that wind through breathtaking landscapes.
While the park has traditionally been known for it’s XC style trails we have been developing the gravity trails over the last few years and will continue to evolve with the times.
