Race Description:

Top Dog 24

A a classic non-stop 24hr adventure race involving trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and other adventure disciplines. Mixed, Male or Female teams of two or four must navigate their way unsupported through an arduous 120+km course that is only revealed to them hours before the race.

The Little Dog

The Little Dog is just over half the distance 70+kms but teams have the full 24hrs to complete it. The legs are challenging, but with the additional time available to complete the half course, teams have a greater chance to reach the finish line.

Each year a new and exciting course is developed. Courses are normally linear with teams often transported to the start line and finishing back at race HQ.

The winning Terra Nova 24 teams are estimated to take 16 to complete the course. The winning Terra Nova Half teams are expected to take 12hrs. All teams for both events have up to 24hrs to complete the course.

Athletes will need to be self sufficient and prepared for anything as the course and mixture of disciplines on the day will only be revealed hours before the start of the race.
