The Wildside Adventure Race went back on the North Coast of NSW, Australia, with a special edition race in partnership with Geoquest.

The June Long Weekend is well known as an adventure filled weekend and this one was no different with racers from across Australia converging on the Great Lakes Manning Valley region for a heavy dose of adventure.

Teams of 4 or 2 will had 12 (Rush), 24 (Half) or 48 (Full) hours to navigate through spaces rarely visited and overcome challenges traversing demanding landscapes, moving from checkpoint to checkpoint by foot, mountain bike and kayak.

The race started and finished at the beautiful Serenity Diamond Beach and saw teams tackle coasteering, forest track, long paddles on the Manning River and the iconic Big Nellie.

The first Rush team was Belrose Bicycles, first Half team was Adventure Junkies and first full team ThoughtSports.
