About the Course::

Set at a new location at Lake Macquarie, on the NSW Central Coast, the 2010 Great Adventure Challenge runs through some of Australia’s most beautiful landscapes, just 80km north of Sydney.

Featuring rich forests, shady lagoons and sun drenched lakes, picnic lawns and thick bush land, the NSW Central Coast offers a diverse and exciting backdrop for this year’s race.

The actual course will be revealed to our Adventurers on the morning of the event, so our teams will need to be able to think on their feet and begin fast preparation to best prepare for the challenge ahead.

Adventurers will make their way across the 60kms course.

The Great Adventure Challenge is a challenging event, it’s very achievable for anyone with a good general level of fitness, you don't have to be an elite athlete or Iron man to finish. You do need to train and work well with your team.

A typical course will involve 8 legs with transition stops in between to recharge, refuel and rotate the squad.

There are multiple legs of each discipline totalling approximately 15km on foot, 10km in kayak and 35km on Mountain Bike. With short multiple legs we guarantee you will never get tired or bored of each discipline.

A typical course might involve:

Leg 1: 15km Mountain Bike
Leg 2: 6km trail run
Leg 3: Mystery Challenge
Leg 4: 6km trail run
Leg 5: 10km Kayak
Leg 6: 1km trail run
Leg 7: 15km Mountain Bike
Leg 8: Finishing with a 3km trail run.

Our linear designed course will cover a range of terrain, over the bushland to the sea.
