Tiger Tracks Gravel — Tiger Tracks Gravel (TTG) is back for a third year! Highlights for 2025 include a new route along the gently rolling bush gravel roads and tracks of the Wiltshire-Butler National Park (goodbye bumpy Jalbarragup Rd), a separate women’s Big Tiger start, and 10-year Masters categories.
TTG is a weekend festival of fun, friendly, community-based gravel at Jalbarragup (near Nannup), hosted by 4Five+ Athlete Collective. The event is designed as a warm-up for SeVen, with ride and race options to suit novice and elite gravellers alike – skills, social rides, 18km Time Trial, 80km Big Tiger Race & 45km Little Tiger Challenge.
You can find more information on the 4F website with links to entries, routes & the Rider Guide: https://www.4fiveplus.org/tiger-tracks-gravel
PS Earlybird pricing ends this weekend 🙂
