Course Description

The XLR8 Obstacle Course winds through a mixed‑terrain park in Baldivis, featuring over 30 permanent obstacles such as walls, ropes, monkey bars, mud pits and low‑crawl sections. Runners can pick a 3 km, 5 km, 7 km, 10 km or 14 km distance, all beginning together at 2:00 pm. The course blends open‑air grass, compacted earth and slick mud, offering both high‑intensity climbs and technical balance challenges. With a 2.5‑hour cut‑off, participants sprint, crawl and swing their way to the finish, earning a finisher wristband and certificate. Spectators watch from the side while you experience a fun, family‑friendly yet challenging adventure.

Getting There

The course is at 1633 Mandurah Road, Baldivis (WA 6171). From Warnbro turn right at the Safety Bay roundabout; from the Baldivis shops or freeway turn left at the same roundabout; or from Ennis Avenue turn into Stakehill Rd and left. Look for XLR8 flags and signs. Free car parking is provided. Arrive early to check‑in and complete the waiver.

Weather & What to Pack

November is spring in Western Australia, with mild to warm days. Expect daytime highs of 22‑25 °C and lows around 13‑15 °C, occasional light showers and moderate humidity. Dress in breathable layers, wear a hat and sunscreen, and bring plenty of water. A light waterproof jacket is useful if a spring shower rolls through.
