Trailblazers on two wheels

Led by five-time Australian off-road champion and Motorsport Hall of Famer Jemma Wilson, the Husqvarna Women’s Trailride is inspiring the next generation of fearless female riders.

In the heart of Australia’s off-road riding scene, a new generation of female riders is carving up the trails and proving that motorsports aren’t just for the boys. The Husqvarna Women’s Trailride, set for June 13-15, 2025, at Green Park in Conondale is more than just an event – it’s a movement that’s empowering women and young girls to take the handlebars and ride with confidence.

With a minimum age of just four years old, some of the youngest participants will be rolling up to the beautiful custom built Green park, ready to take on the dirt with the support of experienced female riders. For many of them, this will be their first taste of the thrill that comes with mastering an off-road bike, surrounded by an encouraging community that’s as much about camaraderie as it is about skill-building.

“This event is a game-changer,” says one returning rider. “It’s so awesome to see the young girls out there on their little bikes with their mums. With no guys on the tracks it is a really different atmosphere, everyone is so polite and helpful. When I first started, I didn’t see many women in the sport. Now, through these events I’ve made so many friends that I can ride with on weekends.”

The weekend isn’t just about the riding—though with diverse trails catering to all levels, from beginners to seasoned pros, there’s no shortage of adventure. It’s also about breaking barriers in a sport that has long been male-dominated. The Husqvarna Women’s Trailride is proving that women belong in motorsports.

“Green Park is an absolutely epic private track,” says event organizer and five-time Australian off-road champion Jemma Wilson. “This is one of the only non-race event where the public can experience this track. It’s the perfect setting to bring women together to ride, learn, and just have a great time on the trails.”

Beyond the trails, the event fosters a strong sense of community, with camping, the canteen and live music on Saturday night creating the perfect social atmosphere and great school holiday activity. On Sunday the highly anticipated Round Six of the Famous Ballard’s Ice Cream Relay will take place – because who doesn’t love eating ice cream and riding dirt bikes.

For young girls and women looking to challenge themselves, build confidence, and experience the thrill of off-road riding, this event is an opportunity like no other. It’s a celebration of skill, determination, and the unstoppable spirit of women in motorsports.

Whether you’re chasing speed, skill, or just some seriously good times with like-minded women, the Husqvarna Women’s Trailride is where you want to be. So grab your bike, bring your mates, and get ready for an unforgettable weekend on the trails.
