The beauty of Noosa National Park. The brutality of the Queensland sun.
Conceived during a 2025 holiday, the Noosa 500 Pursuit is Duns' attempt to introduce the 500 over 10 magic to paradise. Hidden within the spectacular trails of Noosa National Park, the course combines brutal climbs, relentless humidity, iconic trails and one very sneaky cut-through on an unofficial trail to create a continuous 10km loop with over 500 metres of climbing.
Conditions are beautiful. Brutal. Sweltering. Ideal for your relaxing holiday.
Some people relax on their Noosa holiday reading books on the beach. Others wine and dine on Hastings Street. Others — like Duns — disappear into nature looking for adventure. His particular mission: build a legitimate 500 Over 10 course in Noosa National Park.
Numerous attempts were had before settling on what is hopefully a committee-approved route. If further "research trips" are required to fine-tune the course, he is willing to cooperate.
No official race has yet been held yet, but the course has already been earmarked for launch by Noosa local — and George's French mate — Florian.
Should the committee grant final approval, the Noosa 500 Pursuit will become Queensland's first official 500 Over 10 course, bringing handicapped pursuit racing to one of Australia's most spectacular national parks.
