The event has a 48 hours time limit, however team Grass is Greener completed the course – which traverses up and down the Mountain ranges and through the Megalong to Jamison Valleys, and passing iconic areas such as the Three Sisters, Mount Solitary and Wentworth Falls – in a record time of 13hours 14mins. Two members of the team competed last year in the winning team, and this year, they smashed their previous winning time by 3 hours and 16 minutes.

Commenting on their performance, team captain, Darrel Robins said: “We love this challenge. It’s a fantastic course with all types of running terrain, some easier stretches and then some challenging hills, stairs and technical climbs. The weekend gave us perfect running weather and fantastic scenery,� said Darrel.
The WildEndurance event is a growing destination event for adventure and fitness enthusiasts and wilderness lovers who want a challenge and to contribute to a better planet. Into its third year, the WildEndurance event has doubled from last year, with 112 teams (of either 4 or 6 competitors per team). More than 500 competitors competed in the event in 2010.

Teams participate for the glory and also great prizes, including a World Expeditions travel voucher for a whole team. Teams also have a fundraising target, raising funds for The Wilderness Society’s many important campaigns to protect and restore our wonderful wild places, such as Cape York Peninsula and the River Red Gums of South West NSW.
