Entries are now being accepted for the 2008 Kona 24 hour, to be held in Forrest Victoria.  This will be the second year the Kona will be run at Forrest.  Full Gas Promotions are the event organisers and full information can be found at their website here

24 Hour racing is probably the most accessible type of Mountain Bike racing.  The vast majority of people compete in teams of up to 6 riders, each taking a turn of doing a lap over a 24 hour period.  Some riders chose to do the whole 24 hours on their own, these are the SOLO riders.

The Kona is a qualifying event for the 24 Hour Solo World Championships.  Local Forrest girl Jessica Douglas will be hoping to defend her title from 2007 and will be heading to Canberra this weekend to compete in the Scott 24 Hour, which is being used as a lead up event to the Kona.

The Kona 24 Hour has already been a great asset to the Forrest Community.  The local Forrest Football club has attributed much of their success in fielding junior teams to the funds they have raised at last years race.  The 2008 Kona 24 hour, will be bigger and better than ever, with local trail guru Jeff Fox being involved in the course design.
