In our 2026 post-race survey, the Smoothie Bar was the highest-rated part of the whole race. 93% of the riders who responded rated it Excellent.
That's funny. It's also exactly right.
Four days on OZ Trails is four hard days. The whole job of the Smoothie Bar, and the Recovery Zone, is to get everyone who just finished a full day of racing back on the start line the next morning, ready to race.
Blenders, fruit, peanut butter, ice. Real food. A chair. A few pairs of massage boots. And somebody asking how your day went and meaning it. It's all there, along with a crew who is there to take care of you!
Ask anyone who was here what they remember, and it comes up again and again. It turns out being looked after is how you make it through four days of racing.
You'll notice it on day one. You'll be grateful for it on day three. You'll be hugging the crew goodbye on day four.
Registration opens November 1. The trail is the point. The people are why you come back.
