Paluma Push
Mount Spec Road is open and this year’s Paluma Push event is going ahead!
The Mike Carney Toyota Paluma Push is a Cross Country Marathon Mountain Bike race. In 2026 it will be held on Saturday, 18th July.
The weekend starts on Friday afternoon where we set up camp at the Hidden Valley Cricket Oval, before meeting at the start line in Paluma on the Saturday morning. Our Event HQ and finish line are located back at the Hidden Valley Cricket Oval, this is also where we will hold the After Party. Once you have done the hard yards on the course, join us for live music, food truck fiesta, a toasty bon fire and beers.
Make sure to get your race registrations in before the event sells out and don’t forget to book your camping and any bus passes.
