"Calling Head Honchos, the Top Brass, Big Cheeses, Top Bananas and all Big Kahunas – there’s only one adventure race that matters this year:

The Top Dog 24.

The Top Dog Full Course is a classic non-stop 24hr adventure race involving trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and other adventure disciplines. Teams of two or four must navigate their way unsupported through an epic 120+km course that is only revealed to them hours before the race.

Total Recon is organised by Murraylands Multisports (MMI) with Morgan Coull as the Race Director and will be this year's ARWS Oceania Championship event.

"On 27 December 1803 Convict William Buckley escaped into the Otways. Many said he no chance of surviving – it became known as Buckley’s Chance. He emerged 32 years later.

"Welcome to the Spirited Women – All Women’s Adventure Race, where women team up, train and have an absolute blast of an adventure together, side by side all the way.

Teams of four women choose from a short, medium or long-course adventure. Travelling together in a team, they must navigate around a secret course by foot, mountain bike, and kayak, completing a few surprise mystery activities along the way. Stable tandem sit-on kayaks are provided for all teams, and all levels of fitness and experience are welcome.

The MAGNIficent offers an adrenaline-pumping, eye popping expedition adventure race in the incredible scenery of New Zealand's South Island.  The race is presented by the FEAR (Fiordland Expedition & Adventure Racing) Society in conjunction with Bend Racing with twin brothers Andy and Jason Magnes as Race Directors.

"Mountain Designs GeoQuest 48hr Adventure Race is the ultimate test of your physical and mental limits. There is no question, the race is tough and it is real adventure.

Your body will be totally exhausted, your brain will be begging you to stop and you’ll have had little or no sleep for 48 hours. Then if you are one of the lucky teams, you will crawl across the finish line. This is certainly not your average weekend!
