Southern Lakes Multisport Club 12/24 Hour Adventure Race

The Southern Lakes Multisport Club 12/24 Hour Adventure Race sends teams of two or four onto a map-based checkpoint course, with a choice between a 12-hour race and a 24-hour race. It is a straightforward adventure race: teams navigate mixed terrain using supplied maps, switching between disciplines that may include trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, rafting, and abseiling. The 24-hour option starts at midnight and includes racing in both darkness and daylight, suiting competitors with endurance and navigation experience. The 12-hour race starts in the morning, runs mostly in daylight, and offers a more approachable entry point, including an all-female team category. Teams must be self-sufficient, ready for changing conditions, and carry compulsory safety gear; the weekend concludes with breakfast and prizegiving on Sunday morning.
