GOAT FARM, PERTH
The first WA Gravity Enduro kicked off at the Goat Farm in 2014 and we love returning to this very challenging venue.
The venue is tightly compact and spectators have excellent opportunities to walk across an accessible firetrack watching riders cross in-front of them diving into some very challenging features.
Parking is extremely limited here. Do not block driveways on Greenmount Rise.
Course
In 2021, the network saw its biggest ever investment which has turned the previously tired trails into an attractive and challenging network with National focus.
From compact machine-berms to wild rocky sections, the Goat Farm is a popular event for competitors and spectators being so close to Perth.
Grading
Technical Ability – Expert
Physical Rating – 2
This is the approximate Course Grade for the most difficult category (Full Enduro)
More information about Course Grading.
Accommodation
Being a short drive from the Perth CBD, there are plenty of accommodation options nearby. Camping at the Goat Farm is not permitted.
Parking
Parking is extremely limited at the Goat Farm. In 2022, we will aim to spread Sunday racing more across the day to further stagger the competitors in an effort to ease parking pressure. Additionally, we will aim to open more off-road parking areas around Race Village.
Never block driveways on Greenmount Rise. Rangers will be in force issuing fines for Parking Infringements.
As usual, carpool where possible and ride to the venue if possible.
Spectators
Spectators are welcome to walk up the side of trails but please ensure you are behind course bunting at all times and at least 2m off the trail when riders are descending.
Look for Spectator points indicated on the Course Map for viewing opportunities. Always be aware of snakes and kangaroos, bring adequate hydration and wear good walking shoes. Please avoid making shortcuts through the bush and walk on the side of the trails where it is safe to do so.
SPECTATORS – ALWAYS STAY OFF TRAILS AND GIVE RIDERS RIGHT OF WAY.
Dogs
Do not bring your dog if:
– it does not like noisy, busy environments
– it barks at people and bikes
– it does not play well with others.
NEVER let your dog off lead at anytime at our events and always clean up after your dog.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD.
Shuttles (assisted hill climbs)
No shuttles operating and no private shuttles are permitted at any time. At no time during Sunday racing can another competitor or spectator assist another competitor by way of pushing or towing. When caught, the competitor will be disqualified.
Categories and Pricing
We have a MASSIVE 26 categories available to ensure there is fun and competitive racing for all.

Course Map
We aim to give you the Best Enduro Experience possible and work hard to provide the Best Value Event for your Money.
Organisation
Time required to bring together all facets of the Event.
Advertising
Facebook advertising, video reels and highlights, maps, website design, signage, Instagram feeds, YouTube clips take time and fees.
Sign-posted and Bunted Course
Arriving early to setup the course. This usually involves multiple people over hours or days ensuring bunting, signage and timing equipment are in place for easy navigation and fair racing.
Event Health Services
Your Entry Fee covers St John Ambulance Services being on-site for both Saturday and Sunday. We typically employ 4 x Technicians and engage with St John months in advance
Toilets
Typically, our Events exceed the venue existing facilities. Regional Services are engaged months in advance to deliver toilets. Hire costs continue to grow as Waste Management Fees continue to increase.
Race Village
It takes time to design the Race Village to enable our awesome Sponsors to arrive and setup in suitable locations to suite their needs. Careful attention to Parking, Pedestrians and Riders is needed for the safe and accessible movement of all attendees and event crew.
Applications and Insurances
Typically, several Stakeholders need to be engaged months in advance of any Event. We liaise with Local Governments, State Departments, Auscycling, Local Residents and Trail Custodians to act in the best interests of all parties while balancing a safe and exciting experience for our Community. Fees are required for Insurance and Event Applications.

World's Best Timing System
Our Timing System is considered the World’s Best as used at the Enduro World Series. Yearly licensing, hardware and software upgrades are continuous. Additionally, we send our timing bands back to Germany as required for battery replacements at considerable expense.
Continued Development
Once the essential Event costs are accounted for, we continue to research new ways to improve Results, Live Broadcasts, Mobile Phone Apps, data presentation, website development, manage existing equipment and improve our systems with the aim for a better experience for Competitors, Spectators and our Crew.
