Women Only Adventure Race: Canberra, ACT

Pristine waters, bushland trails, and the capital's extensive trail network set the tone: this is an “adventure beyond the road” rather than a straight-up run. The Women Only Adventure Race in Canberra, ACT is a team-of-two, navigation-based outing across kayak, mountain bike, and run/walk legs, with enough mixed terrain to feel like a proper day out without needing expedition-race experience. The fun is in “hunting for checkpoints” and making decisions on the move, not just putting your head down and chasing pace. The course remains a secret until race morning, when maps are handed out, adding that “exciting element of discovery” every adventure race should have. Expect women of all fitness levels, including beginners and girls accompanied by an adult, in a supportive, women-only environment.
