This March, tri-athletes, mountain bikers, trail runners and off-road athletes from all over Australia will descend on Novotel Forest Resort Creswick in Victoria for a weekend of challenging adventures at the Creswick Dirt Fest.

The normally tranquil surrounds of Novotel Forest Resort Creswick – nestled between the Daylesford spa region and Ballarat Goldfields country – will become home to over 400 extreme adventure enthusiasts and spectators from 17-18 March. 

The Resort’s 150 acres of bushland will be transformed into an extreme adventure race course to test the hearts, minds and bodies of even the toughest competitors during the inaugural Dirt Fest in Victoria.

From beginners to hardcore racers, the Creswick Dirt Fest will challenge competitors in every way possible; from mountain biking to trail running to adventure and swim legs. A select few of Australia’s off-road racing elite will be pushed to the limit as they compete in three long course events across the two days in the hope of taking out the title as Victoria’s Dirt Master or Dirt Mistress Champion.

Not just for the elite, the Creswick Dirt Fest offers something for newcomers, families and weekend warriors with short courses, fun runs and kids’ events to suit all abilities.

Novotel Forest Resort Creswick is proud to partner with the inaugural Victorian Dirt Fest.

“With the Novotel situated on 150 acres of stunning land, alongside the surrounding State Forest and tracks, we have the perfect venue and backdrop to hold what will be one of Victoria’s best regional off-road triathlon experiences in 2012,” said Michael Daviss, General Manager of Novotel Forest Resort. 

“We are excited to be part of this unique event and look forward to welcoming all participants and enthusiasts to Novotel Forest Resort this March.”
