After three years based out of Stromlo, Top Dog 24 is heading east.
In 2026, headquarters moves to Googong, opening the door to an entirely new playground of lakes, rivers, forests, ridgelines and intricate navigation.
For competitors, it means easy access from Canberra, the South Coast and Sydney, plenty of accommodation options, straightforward logistics, and more time spent racing and less time travelling.
For us, it unlocks huge new areas packed with route choice. It gives us access to lakes, forests, ridgelines and remote bushland, allowing us to create a course with genuine navigation challenges across every discipline. Expect fast trails, technical route choices and the kind of decision-making that can make or break your race.
We'll keep the exact course under wraps for now, but the region gives us access to some incredible landscapes, including the Molonglo corridor, the waters of Lake Googong, and an extensive network of forestry roads, management trails and bush tracks.
Top Dog 24 has always been about finding that sweet spot between serious adventure racing and a great weekend away with your mates. Googong delivers both.
Whether you're chasing a podium, tackling your first 24-hour race, or simply looking for an epic weekend of adventure, we think you're going to love what we've found.
Early Bird entries close on 30 June, so now's the time to lock in your team and start planning.
