The O’Keefe Challenge is gearing up for its annual Light the Rail Trail on Saturday 29 April 2023. The annual event is a unique experience where riders can take to the trail guided by their own light which follows the Marathon course along the O’Keefe Rail Trail.
The event has been created to cater for families; children aged 12 are encouraged to participate provided adult supervision is provided. There are rewards and prizes, as well as first aid, medical support and food and drink throughout the event.
Participants have options of commencing at Lake Weeroona, Bendigo or at Axedale and all will finish at Pailling Bros Brewery in Heathcote. Entry fees are $30 online or $40 on the night.
