Have you competed in trail running events, triathlons, mountain bike or obstacle races?
Are you looking for something new, exciting and different?
If you answered yes to those questions the Wild Women Adventure Race might be just the thing for you.
The triathlon with a difference includes three legs – a run/trek, mountain bike ride and paddle through the Noosa Hinterland – on Sunday 15 October.
At its heart the event is about getting out of the gym, the office, or the house, and into the wild to experience all the thrills of all-women’s adventure racing in teams of two.
Competitors can expect between 20-30km of mountain biking, 8-15km trail running/trekking and 1-3km of kayaking/paddling (water discipline). There may be multiple legs of each discipline.
The hinterland adventure race was conceived by Kim Beckinsale and Jan Leverton and first run in 2012.
Driven by a passion for the freedom and excitement of adventure sport, the pair became focused on exposing others to the pristine places and experiences that only adventure sport can take you, and the lifestyle benefits of being active in the outdoors.
The pair escaped the hustle and bustle of modern life and simplified their lifestyles to allow themselves to fully embrace the natural environment, and discovered the vast untouched landscape many never experience.
They began Tri Adventure – which runs the Wild Women Adventure Race – to promote a holistic approach to health and flintiness, involving clean air, the natural environment, less driving, more walking and cycle commuting and just having fun.
All equipment can be supplied (there may be an additional cost) so all you need is a basic level of fitness and a like-minded female partner to join you in this six-hour event of fun and fitness challenges.
