The Amazons Australia Brings All-Female Adventure Racing to the AR World Series


The Adventure Racing World Series and Tri Adventure and are proud and excited to announce the first ever ARWS all-female adventure race!

THE AMAZONS Australia

A 3 Day Stage Adventure Race
6th to 10th July 2025
Tropical North Queensland

Ancient Greek mythology told of a race of female warriors who lived on the outer limits of the known world.  The Amazons were strong, warlike, courageous and a force to be reckoned with.

But the Amazon spirit is not lost.
Because everyday women are Amazons.
It’s in the wild women who seek adventure.
The athletes who push their minds and bodies beyond the limit.
The mothers who push past pain; and know sacrifice.
The ladies who unapologetically dance to the beat of their own drum.
The spirited siters, who grow stronger, together.
The trailblazers, daring to take on the unknown.
To the fearless femmes.
We call you for the challenge of a lifetime.

The Amazons Australia; Mission Beach, Cassowary Coast, Tropical North Queensland.

“We already know women are tough, but now it’s time to show the world just what tough women can do.”

Adventure Racing is one of the most extreme sports in the world. Athletes race unsupported across the wilderness for multiple days, and traditionally, the ARWS has prioritised mixed gender teams. It’s the only team sport where female racers take part alongside their male team mates, but often there is often only one female in a team of 4.

At the Amazons Australia that will change! All-female teams of two will embark on a 3-day extreme adventure, combining trekking, navigation, mountain biking, paddling and mystery challenges to test their skills and resilience in the heart of Australia's rugged and brutal tropics.

They will battle mother nature’s dense rainforests, crocodile-inhabited rivers, unpredictable weather, fatigue, mental and physical challenges in a bid to be crowned Amazon Warriors.

Designed to bring elite adventure racers, athletes from other disciplines, adventurers, friends, politicians and mothers together on the same humbling playing field, The Amazons Australia promises to transcend boundaries and create life-changing bonds.

More information about The Amazons Australia is soon to be revealed, with entries set to open on 01 / 11 / 2024.
