Adventure Series

These events are sprint distance adventure races involving running legs with a straight-forward navigation challenge, in beautiful native and pine forests close Melbourne.

You can take the race at whatever pace you like – as hard or as easy as you want. We want everyone to be able to have a go, challenge themselves, but above all, have fun!

We’re not charging a fortune to enter to cover the cost of expensive prizes that only a handful of competitors get to take home (there will be some prizes though). That’s because we’re all volunteers doing it for the love of racing and not for profit. When was the last time you did an adventure race for under $50?

The event is for all ages and abilities, Male and Female, solo competitors and most events allow teams of two.

The estimated winning times for the races will be approx. 2 hours for the long courses and 1 hour for the shorter ones.

The race will require you to find checkpoints using a map to navigate (if you’re not sure how to navigate there’ll be someone on hand on the morning of the race to give you a ‘crash course’ – be there early!).

Detailed colour maps will be used for the race with checkpoints pre-marked. You will receive your first map as you start so you’re going to be planning your route as you go!
