23–27 November 2026 | Derby, Tasmania

THE MTB MUSTER

The inaugural MTB Muster is coming to Derby, Tasmania.

Long regarded as Australia’s ultimate mountain biking destination, Derby has transformed from a historic tin-mining town into a world-class MTB mecca. With hundreds of kilometres of trails, riders will experience stunning scenery—from Lake Derby and lush forests to alpine peaks and coastal runs toward the Tasman Sea. It’s a truly special place to host a very special event.

The MTB Muster is open to anyone ready to be part of a team of 20 riders committed to making a difference.
