Adventure Racing is an exciting and challenging team sport.  It involves travelling on foot and by mountain bike to collect checkpoints marked on a map.  The course will take teams on an exciting cross country adventure through native bush, streams, farmland trails and forestry.  The course will be kept secret until the day of the race and you will receive your maps before race start so you can plan your strategy and route choice.

 

Entries for this exciting event are opening on the 1st April.  Spots will be limited so get your teams together early and ready to enter on the 1st.  The 2018 edition of this race sold out very quickly.
