End of an Era for the Lorne Adventure Fest

News Release (Rapid Ascent) / 01.05.2015

After an incredible 10 years of the Lorne Adventure Fest we now advise that the event will no longer be continuing with 2014 having been the last race.

This has been a very tough decision for Rapid Ascent as it was the first event we ever conducted and last year we celebrated its 10th anniversary but we have decided to cease running the event to concentrate on other races.

We have all shared so many incredible experiences down at Lorne and we thank you for the enthusiasm and energy you have brought to the event over the years. Many of these memories are represented on the pages of this website and especially on the two pages linked below.

We are sorry that we will not be seeing you down at Lorne in December 2015 but hope we will see you at another of our events very soon - and if you are looking for appropriate alternatives to Lorne may we recommend:

The Act-Belong-Commit Augusta Adventure Fest on 7-8 November 2015 in Western Australia. This is th esister event to the Lorne Adventur eFest and has the exact same format but with 3,800 competitors!! Its an incredible race experience.
The Falls Creek Mountain Raid, 14-15 February 2016. This is a teams adventure race and trail runnign festival held in the alpine play ground around Falls Creek in the Victorian High Country - definitely worth checking out!
