DAY 2 – SATURDAY 01 November 2025 –               7:30am

Total distance for the day - 334km

STAGE ONE – “The Surf”. We head 'down the mountain' to as close to the surf as we can get. Morning tea in true country style. Lunch at a favourite haunt for a spectacular display of entrant vehicles.

SPECIAL SECTION.

In the morning there is a reliability timed section. Your choice to enter and if you do, you will need to stick to the speed limit, follow all road signs and log your time on the form with your day's Trip Notes. The time to enter is in 100th's of a second.  Closest to the official time, WINS!

Return to the Cooma Car Club for the gala dinner and presentation. There's awards and the Special Section times will be progressively added through the night. Special guest speaker Warren Brown AM will also be there with the story of his epic journey "Birtles and the Bean". through 80 countries.

DAY 3 – SUNDAY 02 November 2025 -                     7:30am

Total distance for the day - 387km

STAGE TWO – “The Summit”. You came for the drive, and this will be a climb to new heights. New territory. And we meet new friends. An outdoors morning tea on the banks of the Tumut River and then high into the mountains and into a little bit of history for a unique lunch experience.

After lunch, the run home takes us to Khancoban (fuel) down along the Murray River to Tom Groggin, then over the mountain past Thredbo, Jindabyne and onto the De-brief at the Cooma Car Club Bar.

The Alpine Way is one of the nation's great drives and it's a big day, but you will have 'circumnavigated' the SUMMIT in this year's event. Be prepared to expect the unexpected!

4:30pm - The “DE-BRIEF” – The run home brings you down from the "summit" and no better way to conclude a stunning weekend than a to gather at the Car Club Bar for a de-brief.  The bar will be open. Your chance to unwind, reflect, swap experiences and set your plans in motion for the NEXT Surf to Summit in 2027.
