Max Adventure Race

10th Feb 2024

Lake Macquarie

Entries are open for the upcoming Max Adventure Race in Lake Macquarie on Saturday 10th February 2024! This is an event perfect for those new to the sport and looking to find out what Adventure Racing is all about!

“What is Adventure Racing?” I hear you asking! Adventure races are team-based events, combining trail running/trekking, mountain biking and kayaking. All disciplines also require map reading and navigation as you make your way around the unmarked course collecting checkpoints. The navigation isn’t difficult, teams that work together and pay attention out on course will have no trouble locating the checkpoints. The changing legs will also keep teams on their toes, and means you won’t get bored!

The Max Adventure Race Series events are for teams of two people, with two course distances on offer. The Classic Course consists of around 4-8kms of trail running, 10-20kms of mountain biking and 3-5kms of kayaking. The shorter Novice Course is perfect for beginners or younger participants, where teams will run/walk around 2-5kms, bike 5-15km and kayak 1-3km. If you are still feeling nervous, we offer a navigation tips and tricks session for Novice Course teams before you start.

For a real family adventure there is a special Kids Course for young adventurers, although plenty of younger participants choose to team up with an adult for the Novice Course.

All kayaking equipment is provided, and you can hire a mountain bike if you don’t have your own. All you need is a teammate and a sense of adventure.

Why not sign up to one of the upcoming events and join in the fun!

Three Bridges Run Event Wrap Up

Well, we’ve crossed the finish line of the Three Bridges Run 2023!

A massive congratulations to each and every runner who took on the challenge this year. You’re all champions in our book. Once again the event sold out with more than 1200 runners securing a spot and running the stunning Parramatta River!

Every year, we get hit with a wave of inspiring stories and sights at our events, and this year was no different.

We were thrilled to witness over 45 Run Beyond Project students who embraced the challenge of the 5 km, 9 km and 21 km courses. We wish them all the best as they continue to run, learn, grow, and have fun together; we can’t wait to see how far you’ll go. The warriors running for Ovarian Cancer Research were out in force. And let’s not forget the Achilles visually challenged runners and their superhero guides.

Speaking of youngsters, the 5K and 9K races had plenty of young speedsters toeing the line with their parents. These little legends were like lightning bolts on two legs!

Congratulations to all the category winners.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our volunteers. Their support at aid stations and marshal points ensured a smooth and safe event for all participants. The spirit of the Three Bridges Run is truly a collective effort, and we couldn’t do it without our incredible volunteer team.

Thank you for being a part of the Three Bridges Run 2023. We are already looking forward to doing it all again next year!
