The seventh year of the Challenge will be run over-looking the city while raising funds for a local cause, the upcoming Champs, Cramps and Challenges MND Ball at the Town Hall that night.
Centaur Outdoor Events chief Peter Manning has mapped three courses for the challenge and encourages people of all ages and fitness levels to take it on individually or as a team.
The three leg Long Way round will see a 7km run loop up and down Flagstaff, before a 50km ride with over 10km on gravel, finished up with another run, this time a 2.2km loop via Marsupial Park.
The Short Way Round is an abbreviated 35km three leg course, while there will also be a more casual Up and Down Flagstaff, or “walk and talk.”
Participants are encouraged to raise at least $200 for MND NSW to get a Twin Peaks Pack.
The event was last held at the look-out in 2011.
“Yeah but this one has got a twist,” Manning said. “We want the locals to get on board.”
The event has donated upwards of $180,000 to charity over the past seven years.
