3km on from the Kangaroo Creek Refreshment Station is Corkscrew Road. The 'Corkscrew Challenge' travels along Corkscrew Road and then turns right into Montacute Road. It re-joins the original course at the intersection of Montacute Road and Stradbroke Road. The optional route is 9.8km, only 200 metres longer than the original course.
