Have you seen the amazing race on

join 300+ others in a race around the
Brisbane CBD on a balmy summer
evening in the event known as
“One Night in Brisvegas”. Teams of
two are given maps and a huge
list of challenges just before the
race starts. They then need to get
themselves around the city by foot,
train and ferry and obtain points by
successfully completing as many
challenges as they can.
The Color Run™ event – also called
‘the happiest 5km on the planet’!
– is a unique experience that is
less about speed and more about
enjoying a colour-filled day with
your friends and family. It is about
participants of all different speeds,
ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the
start line.

Spartan Race™, the global leader in Obstacle Racing since 2005, was designed
by seven insane ultra athletes and a Royal Marine. If you have tried trail races,
mud runs, tough mudder runs, or a warrior dash, it’s time to step up to a brutal
Spartan Race obstacle course. You can tackle a Spartan Sprint, a Super
Spartan, maybe even attempt a brutal Spartan Beast, but only a few of you will
have the heart to graduate up to our Death Race; the world championship of
obstacle racing, and an endurance race like NO other. Are you unbreakable?
Previously challenges have included
riding the ferris wheel, shopping for
obscure items, launching off a 7m
diving platform and making the
perfect espresso. Teams choose
which challenges to tackle and in
what order, making it a fun event for
all levels and abilities.
Why Spartan? Because the Spartans were tough as nails. Why race our obstacle
course races? Because we all thrive under pressure, survival of the fittest. Our
goal is simple... to get you off your couch, throw you in the mud & trails, and
feed you one tough endurance event that will be the adrenalin rush of your life.
An obstacle course race is designed to test your resilience, strength, stamina,
quick decision making skills, and ability to laugh in the face of adversity. We
want to own obstacle racing and our unique obstacle course trail races will
demand every ounce of your strength, ingenuity, and animal instinct.
You will understand at the finish line... but don’t wait to
sign up as our races do sell out!
