Following the inaugural event's success earlier this year, the four-day mountain bike race will return to Newcastle in May.
The race starts at Nelson Bay Marina, where riders stare down the barrel of exciting fire trails, testing hill climbs and steep descents through Cessnock, the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie and Newcastle.
This year 300 recreational and professional riders participated in the sister event to Western Australia's Cape to Cape MTB.
Among them was Jenny Fay, who won the female division.
Next year the event will feature something new: the Crowne Plaza Sundown Shootout in the picturesque Hunter Valley.
The top 100 riders will go head-to-head in a hair-raising 2-kilometre time trial.
