The Wild Women Adventure Race was Australia’s FIRST ever all-female adventure race originally conducted back in 2012.  The event was conceived by Jan Leverton and Kim Beckinsale, who wanted to provide women with an opportunity to participate in an adventure race in an all-female environment.  The Wild Women Adventure Race is about getting out of the gym/office/house and into the wild, to experience all the thrills of all-women’s adventure racing in teams of two. The course will be set on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisnane.

All you really need is a basic level of fitness, a female friend and a willingness to try something a little different… and get out and go wild!  You will also need a mountain bike, comfy running shoes, clothes you can get wet in, a first aid kit and whistle (as outlined on the mandatory gear list).

Competitors can expect between 20 to 30 km of mountain biking, 8 to 15 km trail running/trekking and 1-3 km of kayaking/paddling (water discipline) and basic navigation. There may be multiple legs of each discipline. 

So, dust off your mountain bike and get in a little training. We can’t wait to see you!. It’s never too late to try something new, exciting and different!
