non-local spectators.

This, the fourth year of the Kalgoorlie Desert Race, sees the track settling into it’s own unique groove and flow; which is gaining much praise and excitement from the ever increasing field of competitors.

The approximately 135 kilometre course offers a wide variety of terrains, flat dead flat salt lakes through to sandy wooded sections and a range of well formed berms to really rail though. the Kalgoorlie Desert Race has something that every competitor and spectator will enjoy.

The course offers a fuel stop approximately half way through and the course being essentially a circuit makes it easy for competitors to be based at a single location for the weekend.
