What started as a bet between two cane farmers in a Gordonvale pub 50 years ago has turned into an annual scramble up the mountain which attracts more than 100 elite athletes. Considered no ordinary event, this 12 kilometre cross country race culminates with a climb to the peak of Walsh’s Pyramid.

There is also a 5km road race, a 100m dash for cash, a golf challenge, barefoot bowls,'pump n pedals' criterium, spicks and specks night, and more.

At the bottom of the "Pyramid", a country fair with entertainment, food, wine and and market stalls awaits.
