Event Centre
The Event Centre is located at the Callala RSL Country Club, Callala Beach Rd. Different to previous years, the event centre will now be entirely hosted near the BBQ area behind the RSL club, as we have successfully applied to have the golf course shut down for the day.
Race Registration will be open from 6pm until 9:30pm on Friday the 29th of June. Competitors are encouraged to register for the event on Friday evening. Late registration will be open for a brief period on Saturday the 30th of June.
Sponsors marquees will be set up around the event centre for the entire weekend. The sponsors are the backbone of any great event. Not only does it prove that they are passionate about their chosen industry, it also proves that they believe in their product and want to see it being used. Please support all event sponsors as they are truly what make these events possible.

Bike Repairs
Paul and his crew from Race Worx will be in attendance for all of your last minute bike servicing and parts needs. To avoid delays, it's best to book yourself in with Paul on 0419419701.
Catering
The sub-branches of the RSL club will have a BBQ working around the clock within the event centre to cater to all of your needs. The RSL club kitchen will be in operation during standard operating hours, and the bar will be open for all of your refreshment requirements.
On event day, You Pizza will be cooking up a frenzy in their pizza oven, with a fantastic range of pizzas to choose from.
A coffee van will be in attendance for the duration of the event. Please be kind to them on Sunday morning, as over 1000 riders trying to get their caffeine fix from the one place could turn very ugly.
Accommodation
There are a number of accommodation options for your stay over the weekend.
- Event Centre Camping: Camping makes a welcome return to the event, with competitors able to camp close to the event centre on Friday and Saturday night.
- Real-Insurance Tent City: You may book a real-insurance 2-person tent to stay in for the duration of the event. There is an additional $5 fee associated with these, which goes directly to the local charity group that comes in to set-up and pack-down your tent.
- Jervis Bay Tourist Park: There are a number of camping spaces available at the park. The park is a 2-3km flat ride from the event centre.
- Holiday houses: There is a great selection of holiday homes through holiday websites such as Stayz. These are great if you are bringing your family with you for the weekend, or pooling together with a group of mates.
Please note that we do not recommend booking your accommodation too early, unless you can agree to a fair refund policy. The Husky has been washed out twice previously, so it is advisable to book once the weather forecast is looking favourable for the event to proceed.
Camping at the event centre is on the RSL Sub-branch ovals.
The cost to camp is:
- $10 per competitor for the weekend, using your own tent.
- $15 per competitor for the weekend, using one of the Real Insurance Tents that will be set up and packed down for you by a member of the local scout group.
There will be toilets and a limited number of showers available in the camp ground.

Feed Stations
There are three aid-stations situated on the course at approximately the 25km, 50km and 75km marks (25km mark only for those doing the 50km course). You will be able to refill water bottles and bladders with water, or why not drop a Shotz Hydration tablet?
There will be some other goodies available including bananas and lollies for those feeling a little the worse for wear. We strongly encourage all riders, however, to be self-sufficient with their race nutrition, as there is no guarantee that there will be any goodies left by the time you arrive.
First-Aid
St. Johns Ambulance service will be in attendance to see to any niggles, scrapes or scratches that you may have before, during or after the event.
We also have 2 mobile paramedics roaming the course, acting as a first point of contact in the case of a more serious injury or ailment that may occur.
We strongly advise riders to carry a mobile phone throughout the event in your backpack or jersey pocket, incase you happen upon a serious injury. Course marshals will also be on course at frequent intervals, and have the ability to contact first-aid or an ambulance in an emergency.

- Hydration pack or two full bidons.
