What does it take to be a Peaks finisher?

235km cycling and 4000+ metres of climbing

The route

Peaks Challenge Falls Creek is a 235km loop ride starting at Falls Creek and riding up Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham and through Omeo before heading up the back of Falls Creek.

The back of Falls will hit you like a tonne of bricks. With 200km in your legs, you’ll quickly learn why the climb is notorious amongst Peaks riders. It’s a steep and relentless climb with little reprieve.

Finishers Jersey

It’s more than just a jersey.

Everyone who tackles Peaks Challenge has the opportunity to take home either a finishers jersey or sub 10 hour jersey.

We know how much it means to you. It symbolises months of training, time away from family and friends, dedication, pain and commitment.

You have 13 hours to cross the finish line and earn one for yourself. It’s significance is something only a fellow Peaks Challenge finisher can understand…

We chatted to some Peaks finishers and let them reflect on their preparation, the challenge and what the finishers jersey means to them.
