Sprint Series Adventure Race | Fingal Bay 2026

The Sprint Series Adventure Race at Fingal Bay is a two-person race in Port Stephens, NSW, where teams navigate between checkpoints using foot, mountain bike, and kayak. The standard event lasts approximately 4 hours, and a novice option offers a shorter 2-hour duration for less experienced racers. Kayaking gear is provided with entry, and the race welcomes participants of all fitness levels; children may compete when accompanied by an adult. The course details are disclosed on race morning, requiring teams to interpret maps and make real-time route decisions rather than follow pre-marked paths. The standard course typically comprises a 5-7 km run, a 15-17 km mountain bike segment, and a 5 km kayak leg. The novice course reduces these distances to roughly 3 km running, 10 km biking, and 2 km paddling. Fingal Bay provides calm waters for the kayaking sections, sandy coastal landscapes, and local trails for the running and cycling portions.
