The Escape Raid 2026

Lake Wivenhoe shapes this event: bush, water, and choices. The Escape Raid is a team navigation weekend based at Captain Logan's Camp, featuring trekking, mountain biking, and kayaking within a wilderness course where participants must "navigate wilderness course with map and compass." It is suitable for novices with basic map-reading skills, yet experienced adventure racers will find it challenging. On foot, expect unmarked bushland, undulating terrain, lake views, and "off-trail navigation through native forest" as you seek checkpoints instead of following a marked route. On the water, teams paddle across Lake Wivenhoe for "water-based checkpoints," where route choice is as important as physical endurance. The lakeside camp serves as the central hub, simplifying logistics and creating a compact, "spectator-friendly race village" for families and teammates awaiting stage completions.
