hree disciplines, three distance options, three stunning
locations. This years Adventurethon 3 Stage Race in
the Clarence Valley in northern NSW can really be the
adventure you want it to be. As the slogan says; “do one
race or do them all!”
So often the fear for triathletes and single sport athletes when
contemplating adventure racing for the first time is taking on
daunting distances in new disciplines, but this event really does
give you a chance to test the water at your own pace.
STAGE 1: CLARENCE RIVER RUSH
• Distance options: 2km/9km or 20km
• Down river paddle - no fighting your way upstream
• “Perfect place to attempt your first whitewater paddle”
• Craft for hire, no need to splash out and buy a craft to be
involved
• Opportunity to race in a double kayak and get some guidance
• Priceless: you can brag about riding the rapids
STAGE 2: THE GORGE ADVENTURE RUN
• It’s not called a 'trail run’ for a reason; because it’s so much more!
• Rock scrambling, river crossings, waterside trails…
• Fast in a straight line is easy. Being fleet of mind and fleet of foot
will win the day
• Distance options: 6km/11km/18km
