8-Hour @ Wangaratta: On Sale Soon

6 years ago | Photos: Donat O'Kelly

After receiving an incredibly positive response to the first-time appearance of the Victorian township of Wangaratta on the 2019 Transmoto Enduro Event race calendar, we’re stoked to announce that entries for the inaugural running of the Transmoto 8-Hour at ‘Wang’, powered by Husqvarna, will go on sale next week.
So round up your mates, dust off your camping gear, get your bike and body and roadtrip plans in order, and clear your schedule for the September 21-22 weekend. 

You’ll need to get in quick because entries are capped at 400, and because anyone entering this inaugural Transmoto 8-Hour at Wangaratta automatically goes in the running to win a 2020-model Husqvarna!

WHAT CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE?

There will be a limited number of entries for the Ironman and Pairs classes, and plenty of positions available for the Team (of either 3 or 4 riders) class. 

TEAM CATEGORIES

Remember that all Teams must enter under one of six ‘Team Categories’:

  • Weekend Warriors (no rider to have ever raced professionally); 
  • Young Guns (all riders under 23);
  • Wise Wizards (average age of at least 50);
  • Mixed (at least one female rider); 
  • Wonder Women (all female riders); or
  • Open (general team entry, if you’re not eligible for any of the above Categories).

Teams of 3 and Teams of 4 will be grouped together for the Class and Outright results, but entering in a relevant Team Category will increase your team’s chances of taking home a trophy.

ARE THERE PRE OR PRIORITY ENTRIES?

In appreciation of their support, Transmoto Tribe members and previous event entrants will be offered a 48-hour and 24-hour priority entry into the 8-Hour at Wangaratta, respectively. Then, at 4pm AEST on Friday, July 19, entries will go live to the public.

Want to avoid the risk of missing out? The only way to guarantee yourself an entry before the 8-Hour sells out is to be a Transmoto Tribe member. The 48-hour priority-entry access to all Transmoto Enduro Events is just one of the many perks of a Tribe membership. Click here to find out more.
