The Spirited Women Adventure Race is an unforgettable team-event! Travelling together in a team, four women must navigate around a secret course by foot, mountain bike, and kayak (kayaks provided), completing a few surprise mystery activities along the way. There are three category options for which length to enter which will take teams between 4 and 18 hours to complete.
The prize is valued at between $1,360 and $1860 depending on the distance option selected.

“We’ve still got a big job ahead of us,” says Parks Technical Officer Stuart Jackson. “Our contractors are working flat-out and we are trying to reopen these remaining tracks as quickly as we can.”
