Have you registered for the Paddy Pallin Urban, the ultimate family day out?

With only a few short months until the event we have a list of exciting, challenging and brand new checkpoints planned with more to come. What are they exactly? Well that is part of the thrill of the event, you won’t know that until you sign up and join in the fun!

Plenty of the checkpoint activities are specially designed to appeal to the young (or the young at heart) so don’t forget to bring the kids along. They can help at all the checkpoints, assist with solving the clues and will get a race number just like you to make them feel part of the team.

With a relaxed format that allows all teams to pick how many checkpoints you complete and ‘Must Do’ kids checkpoints marked on your clue sheet it really is some of the best family fun you can have. How many other events allow you and your children to participate side by side in the one team? So now is the time to rustle up the whole family and create some lasting memories together, travelling through the heart of our beautiful harbour city and having a blast along the way!

Event Wrap Up

Great Adventure Challenge
Saturday, 29th July 2017
Yanchep – Guilderton, WA

Driving rain – check. Gale force winds – check. Chilly conditions – check. It must be Great Adventure Challenge (GAC) time again in WA.

The 2017 GAC series for the Starlight Children’s Foundation kicked off in WA this past weekend as teams took on a grueling 70km+ course in support of sick kids and their families.

Teams braved single digit temperatures, icy winds and heavy rain to navigate their way from Yanchep National Park to seaside Guilderton.

The course was not for the faint hearted (or the claustrophobic) as teams started the course with an early run leg and cave challenge. Participants twisted, turned and crawled their way through the narrow Melaleuca Cave under the guidance of Rob and Eve.

Support crew and event volunteers didn’t miss out on the cave action either, with many taking the opportunity to walk through Crystal Cave while they waited for the first leg participants.

The run and cave leg was followed by a long bike leg which pushed teams to their limits and tested their navigation skills. Rain and wind slowed many as they battled to see through heavy rain and strong winds.

At the next transition, the support crew competed in a mystery challenge to secure an additional 15 minutes time credit for their teams. Teams then climbed back onto their bikes and pedaling to Moore River for the picturesque kayak leg.

A quick run to the finish line rounded out the race, with many racing through the finish arch for a chance to dry off and get warm.

A joint team from Azure Capital and King & Wood Mallesons (Azure KWM 1) took out the title of Overall Champion, completing the course in an impressive 4 hours and 35 minutes.

BIS Industries (aka Let’s get BISiscal) successfully defended their GAC Champion Fundraiser title and raised a whopping $31,900.

In total, teams raised more than $73,000 for the kids and their families. A wonderful effort from all teams and volunteers made GAC WA 2017 a great success.
