Tiger Tracks is a two day festival of gravel cycling, held in the beautiful locality of Jalbarragup. An event including gravel riding skills sessions, basic bicycle maintenance workshops, guided participation rides and opportunities for riders to socialize at a long table dinner in Nannup.
4Five+ Athlete Collective have designed this event with female riders in mind. We want to send a clear message that there is space for female riders on the start line. This year the Big Tiger Race will feature a separate start time for female racers, shining the spotlight on women’s racing, and helping to create a safe space for women new to gravel racing.
Our dream is to see women and girls make up half the entries, because we are #halftheworld.
With the field capped at 200 each day, competition for a spot will be hot!

The course
We’ve put Jalbarragup Rd in the sin bin for 2025 (hooray!)
The course terrain is rolling, rather than hilly, and is generally on the lower end of the technical spectrum. The routes follow Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attraction roads and tracks, passing through the Wiltshire-Butler National Park and McCorkhill State Forest. The routes are lined by native jarrah, marri and banksia woodland, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for emus and kangaroos! Depending on the weather and when the roads last saw the Shire grader, they could be smooth, corrugated, sandy, or muddy – but they will definitely be 100% gravel.
