If you have done a couple of sprint races, rogaines or half Ironmans and are looking for the next challenge, then this is the event for you!

Just like the sprint races these events are designed to keep you on your toes. There will be up to 10 different legs to each race. This will ensure your are constantly challenged throughout the event and never bored, taking between 12 to 24 hours to complete.

Not quite ready to tackle 24 hours, then how about the 12 hour option. This will be on a shortened version of the 24 hour course, you only race during daylight hours, still with the same challenging aspects of the 24 hour event, taking between 6 to 12 hours to complete.

ARE YOU AUSTRALIA'S ULTIMATE ADVENTURE RACER? Maximum Adventure have introduced a new category into the 24 hour format - the MAX 24 SOLO! Following the same course as the team event, the MAX 24 SOLO is for individuals with support crew. Are you up for the ultimate challenge?

The MAX 24 HOUR races are designed for teams of two. A typical course will consist of 60-70km of mountain biking, 15-20km of trail running/trekking and 10-15km of kayaking. No support crews are necessary.

The MAX 24 HOUR SOLO will be for individuals and will consist of the same course as above, but a support crew will be required.

The MAX 12 HOUR races are designed for teams of two and will consist of a shortened version of the course above. No support crews are necessary.

These events tend to involve a lot of natural obstacles whether it be rivers, lakes, hills, mountains, cliffs or caves. Be prepared to be surprised and pushed to your limits.

2009 Race Calendar (proposed):

Kayaks:

The MAX 12 HOUR and MAX 24 HOUR kayak legs will be completed using Toyboy Voyager II sit-on-top two person kayaks. Kayaks, paddles and personal flotation devices (PFDs) are included in your entry. You can bring your own paddle and PFD if you prefer.

For the MAX 24 HOUR SOLO you will need to supply your own kayak, paddle and PFD.
