XPD 3rd edition is shaping up to be no different, with many more international teams coming “down under”, lured by the ease of logistics and the majestic racing location of the Whitsundays.

Up to 60 teams of four athletes will embark on this amazing expedition through reef, rainforest and outback. They will experience the majestic Whitsunday Islands, lush highland rainforests and the harsh Queensland outback.” Teams will be unsupported over their 700+km journey as they race day and night on a course involving stages of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, sailing and snorkeling. Dates have been set for the 20-31 August 2007 and it promises to be “as much an expedition as a race”.

Don’t forget, the only way to secure your teams spot (whether you have all members confirmed of not), is to register online as soon as entries open. Don’t despair if you aren’t ready to commit straight away, history shows that not all the initially entered teams make it. So, put your name down on the wait list and if any slots become available organisers will contact you.
