About Mawddach Goldrush MtB Challenge
50k Mountain Bike Challenge, based on the Tarw Trail (3 laps), with several unusual "twists" and plenty of single track! At registration, every rider will have the opportunity to ’stake a claim’ on a map so all entrants have the chance to win the mystery "Goldrush" bounty. Event organised by the Mawddach Rotary club with the help of VLA Events, UK Results and TriCoaching UK. All profits raised will be donated to the Institute of Cancer Research, the Air Ambulance and other local Rotary good causes.
