Lysterfield Park provides the challenge: a multisport event that exchanges road pacing for trail running, mountain biking, and kayaking. The course navigates 4WD tracks, walking paths, mountain bike trails, and water, intended for runners seeking adventure off-road and teams trying the Novice option as a shorter, more accessible introduction.
The best quirk is that the course layout remains secret until race morning, so you are not just pacing effort, you are reading the map and making decisions. You and your teammate must stay together while you search for checkpoints located in picturesque spots you would rarely visit on your own, sharing the challenge of navigation and endurance through Lysterfield's natural features, with stable sit-on-top kayaks and paddling gear provided.
