Max Adventure Race Lake Macquarie
The Max Adventure Race at Lake Macquarie is a team event for pairs that combines trail running, mountain biking, kayaking and basic navigation. It takes place in Lake Macquarie, NSW, on February 13, 2027, and runs as part of the Max Adventure Race Series. Teams compete across one of three course options: Classic, Novice or Kids.
The Classic course moves from the lake shoreline toward the coast and includes mountain bike climbs over a footbridge, trail running along rocky platforms and tidal pools near Caves Beach, and a kayaking leg on Lake Macquarie. Typical Classic distances are around 15–25 km mountain biking, 7–12 km trail running and 2–4 km kayaking, with most teams taking 4–6 hours.
The Novice course is shorter and reduces some of the mountain biking climbs while keeping coastal sections and a shorter kayak leg. Novice distances are approximately 5–15 km mountain biking, 3–5 km trail running and 1–2 km kayaking, with most teams finishing in 2–4 hours.
The Kids course includes simpler navigation and marked routes. Estimated distances are about 1–2 km running, 2–4 km biking and 500 m kayaking. Parent or guardian accompaniment is encouraged for younger participants.
Categories include male, female and mixed teams. The event runs as a local opportunity for residents of the Newcastle and Central Coast regions as well as a day-trip option for participants from Sydney. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
