'Like a little pain with your adventure?' Then Mt Baw Baw is the place to be for the new Seasons of Pain Multi-sport Series this January and April.

Based on trail running and mountain bike riding, Seasons of Pain is a competitive event designed to push participants to their physical limits around the picturesque, but challenging Mt Baw Baw ski village.

An expanded program now includes the Sprint and Kids events, ensuring there is a course designed for every person and fitness level, with the added incentive of a $2,000 prize draw for those tough enough to complete the 3 series events in their entirety.

There are Four-4 Seasons of Pain events every year, one for each seasion. The next Seasons of Pain event for Summer will be held on Saturday 14th February, followed by the Autumn event on Saturday 25th April 2015. The courses are generally the same except for winter, which incorporates skiing and trail running through snow.

From professional athletes to those simply wanting to challenge themselves, Seasons of Pain is open and suitable to everyone wanting to 'put their fitness to the test.'

The Sprint consists of a 5km run 5km ride 4km run

The Kids course consists of a 1km run 1km ride 400m run.

The Enduro course consists of a 12.5km run 14km ride 4km run.

The Enduro course covers 30km and has a recommended time limit of 3 hours. Teams can split the course in two, with one competitor doing the mountain bike leg, while the other competitor does the running. Then both complete the '3rd Sting leg'.

Participants can enter either as solo competitors or in teams of 2 to complete these adventurous tracks and prizes are award to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place getters.

The courses and trails vary from wide to single track with minimal road running. Every event is well signposted so you can't get lost along the way.

Mt Baw Baw is roughly 2.5 hours from Melbourne along the Monash Freeway to the Mt Baw Baw exit and offers tracks through snowgun terrain and fully fledged Aussie bush. The mountain bike track is reasonably new and has some additional twists and turns from last year, with an extended climb all the way up to Mt St Gwinear and back.

The race starts at the stone wall gates to the village and competitors gather in the car park.

Friends and family are encouraged to come along and cheer from the sidelines.
