In the spirit of reconciliation and respect, the Challenge Bathurst event partners, the Bathurst Regional Council and Accelerate Events, acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. The Wiradjuri People are the traditional custodians of the land on which the Challenge Event event takes place and we pay our respect to the Elders past, present and emerging and extend that to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today.
