This year\'s Arrow International Sydney 24 Hour Adventure Race started and finished on the edge of Lake Macquarie 100km north of Sydney. The race included Watagan\'s Forest and the Great North Walking Track. With poor weather forecasted, it was a relief to have overcast but dry conditions for the event.

The race started at 8am with a 30km kayak in Lake Macquarie. First off the water was the two man team \" Knot Shore\" - Stu Adams and Chad Singleton in 2 hours 33 minutes. Only 1 minute back was the 4 person mixed team \"The Grunting Wombats\" - Damon Goerke, Kim Willocks, Matt Blundell and Dave Proven.

During leg two, which involved a 29km mountain bike ride over the Great North Walking Track, team AROC - Tom Landon Smith, Alina McMasters and Kiwi, Karl Strode-Penny made their mark finishing the leg second, just 4 minutes behind team Knot Shore.

Leg three consisted of a 11km walk over some of the roughest terrain in the Great North Walking Track. During this leg, team AROC joined Knot Shore to complete the leg in just 2 hours. Team Crank - Michael Maryment, Matt DeBelin, Jane Cooksley and Andrew Cooksley overtook the Grunting Wombats to lead the four mixed division.
