More detail on the 65km course

Breaking the course up into teams from 2-5 people makes it very achievable. The beauty and sense of adventure will take you back to your childhood exploring in the wilderness. We provide aid stations approximately every 12-16km to provide plenty of opportunity to refuel. We also allow ~13 min/km for your team to finish the course (14 hours). All participants must keep ahead of aid station cut off times and be at the finish line before 8:00pm.

Please note that ~50% of this course is on private land and for that reason can not be completed for training in the lead up or post the event. So you can have the opportunity to complete this course we have had extensive negotiations with the following list plus a number of other relevant organisations. If you ignore this message you will jeopardise our ability to host this event in future years, stopping people from achieving the same experience we want you to have.

Avon Ridge Easement - This is private land

Arc Infrastructure - No train line should be crossed in the Avon Valley. We have special permissions to use the underpass at the Orlov Tunnel.
