Bringing Adventure Racing to Lake Macquarie! The Max Adventure Race will take place on Saturday the 11th February 2023. Adventure Racing is like a triathlon that's gone off-road. Competitors in teams of two must use a map and compass to navigate around the course, collecting checkpoints along the way. Teams will swap between trail running, mountain biking, and kayaking while on the course, race times can vary from 3-6 hours depending on the team's navigation skills and choices!
Kayaks are provided and mountain bikes are available to hire if needed, all competitors need is a teammate and a sense of adventure!
Adventure Racing takes competitors through stunning bushland terrain. The Lake Macquarie course is exciting, fast and fun, with kayaking on the beautiful Lake Macquarie, and exciting trail run sections over coastal tracks and tidal rock pools. Novice and Kids course options are all available – so bring the whole family for a day of adventure!
