Course Description

Teams of two will tackle a linear, unmarked course of either 15 km (Full) or 30 km (Half) across the scenic Shoalhaven region. The Full option blends 5‑7 km of trail running, 10‑15 km of mountain biking and a 5 km kayak stretch, while the Half option offers a lighter 3‑5 km run, 5‑7 km bike and 3‑5 km paddle. Expect coastal bush tracks, gentle river inlets and forested ridgelines, with checkpoints marked by orange‑white flags. Navigation is key – you’ll receive waterproof maps and 1.5 hours pre‑start to plot your route. The race finishes at the event HQ in Mollymook, with a 6‑hour cut‑off.
