Club Events

Bilbys hold three club events each year, which are outlined below. These events are for financial members only. See past Club Event Winners


The Baldwin-Rolfe Hill Climb is usually held in winter up 'washing machine hill' on the old Federal Highway starting at the Tulip Farm, for about 5km.	The Farrell-Marshall Run usually has long and short course options. In recent years it has been held in Spring incorporating our novice program. It is usually held along the bike paths of Macquarie and Cook, starting at the car park of Big Splash swimming pool and we have post race drinks and the presentation at Canberra Southern Cross Club Jamison, who are one of our sponsors.	The Bilbys World Championships (an Aquathon event) usually has short and long course options and (pending water quality) is held in December in conjunction with our Christmas Party. We try and hold this event at Acton at Lake Burely Griffin or at McDermott Place or Diddams Close at Lake Ginnderra. The club provides water safety support for this event.

These events are based on a 'best guess' scenario. Competitors estimate how long it will take them to complete the specific event. We then take their watches, bike computers etc and send everyone off in a handicap fashion. The person who is closest to their guess is named champion for that event. You must be a member to to eligble.

The standing first prize for our club events is $100 cash making them some of the most lucrative in the ACT region! The worst guessor wins their money back so they can try again next time, and the cash prize for 2nd and 3rd are pooled from the entry fees. In recent years the cash prizes have been pretty good especially as the entry fee is only $5!!!

Thank you to our sponsors who support our events by providing awesome barrel prizes!
