Quad Events is excited to announce that we will run two stage races in 2026, a move away from the 4 race series that we have run over the past couple of years.

The two stand-alone events will be The Mystic Yak in Alpine High Country Victoria from March 13-15 and The Black Pearl in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie from November 6-8.

Both destinations are perfect for the format with The Mystic Yak to be run across the Indigo Epic Trail network as well as Mystic Mountain Bike Park in Bright, whilst The Black Pearl will utilise many of the trails made popular my the Port to Port MTB stage race, which was originally created by the same management team behind these new events.

Both events will be run as three-day stage races, a pivot from the previous race schedule that saw a Prelude on the Friday followed by two full stages across the weekend.

The two chosen events for 2026 have proven the most popular with riders to date and the management team hope to take each to another level with the move to three full stages.

First up for 2026 - The Mystic Yak in Victoria's High Country - a three day MTB stage race suitable for riders of all levels! #HaveACrackAtTheYak!

Every good event needs a good HQ and what better base could we ask for than @bridgeroadbrewers in Beechworth! 🍺
Our admin team will be set up here on the Thursday afternoon prior to the event for you to collect your Registration Packs when you come into town. 🚵
And from 5pm we will hold a Welcome Function at the venue, including a Rider Q&A session. From there we would recommend you enjoy one of their famed Pizzas and of course sample one or two of their fine brews! 🍕
But don`t have too many as three BIG days are ahead, with the good news being that our Final Presentations will be back at Bridge Road Brewers after Stage 3 where you can enjoy more than a couple of well earned drinks!🍻
