Wildside Adventure Race 12/24

Adventure Racing is back on the NSW North Coast

Press Release / 30.06.2015

­Australia’s newest adventure race, Wildside Adventure Race, is in its short course format this year ready for teams to hit Wauchope on the North Coast of NSW, Australia in October 3 & 4. The 2014 Wildside Adventure Race Expedition Edition took teams on a 500k odyssey across remarkable terrain. This year’s race will once again take teams to the wilds but in a shorter faster format. Teams of 4 or 2 will have 12 or 24 hours to navigate through spaces rarely visited and overcome challenges traversing demanding landscapes, moving from checkpoint to checkpoint by foot, mountain bike and kayak. This is adventure racing.

Race organisers Fully Rad Adventures are no stranger to adventure racing having competed in short course through to multi day races across Australia and New Zealand. “We really love the outdoors and adventure racing” Race Director, Richard Old, “After the success of WildsideAR 2014 we wanted to create a shorter event to encourage more people to get into adventure racing while we continue to work on WildsideAR Expedition Edition 2016” On the October long weekend teams will use map, compass together with their own wits and skills to navigate their way over an unmarked route by mountain biking, paddling, trekking, orienteering, trail running, and of course a few surprises through the spectacular forests and rivers surrounding Wauchope. They will have to problem solve, route find and persevere over a wild course managing their resources.

“This race will have everything - challenging trek legs, demanding mountain biking ranging from flowing single track to rugged back country tracks and scenic paddle legs. The course is rich in history and we are designing a race that will give teams a real adventure experience as well as get to know the area.”

Based in the township of Wauchope, west of Port Macquarie, on the North Coast, this part of Australia has a landscape perfect for adventure with miles of forest tracks and trails, mountainous climbs, flowing rivers and a community that is connected to its environment. Teams can expect a warm welcome and a great experience.

If you have been searching for that next challenge or for an adventure that will create memories that will last a lifetime then the Wildside Adventure Race is the event. The journey that WildsideAR will take you on will be life changing expanding your physical and mental capabilities. This growth will impact not only your sporting life but also their personal and work life. This sport is life changing.
