The original Trilby Tour was launched in 2007 and has been given a new lease of life since being purchased by Darwin Escapes in 2021. The new-look tour returned last year, featuring men and women competing together for the first time in the competition's history.

Thanks to a partnership with broadcaster Live Sport Now, the Trilby Tour Grand Final – like all qualifying events – will be available to watch for free via Facebook and YouTube.
