EMX | QLD Nerang 2026

Nerang Park provides the setting: walking trails, mountain bike tracks, quiet picnic spots, and a section of Australian bushland with enough turns to make a navigation-based course feel dynamic. This is a "Sprint Series adventure race" in practice, with teams reading maps, finding checkpoints, and moving through the park rather than just following tape from start to finish. The Commonwealth Games tracks add difficulty, and the location seems suited for "endless fun and challenges" without requiring extensive preparation. Expect a mixed day of running or walking, riding, paddling, and pausing just long enough to determine the next checkpoint's location. The course remains undisclosed until the morning, so a portion of the enjoyment comes from opening the map and planning the route under race conditions. It is suitable for participants of all abilities, including active children over ten accompanied by an adult, provided they have MTB equipment and a spirit of adventure.
