Max Adventure Race Sydney : Royal National Park
The Sydney Max Adventure Race takes place in the Royal National Park near Audley. The event runs as a team race with teams of two and combines trail running and hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and navigation. Categories are male, female and mixed, and two course options are offered: Classic and Novice.
The Classic course includes steep climbs out of the valley, purpose-built mountain bike tracks and a kayaking leg on the Hacking River adjacent to the start and finish area at Audley. Typical Classic course distances are approximately 15–25 km of mountain biking, 7–12 km of trail running and 2–4 km of kayaking. Classic teams generally take about 4–6 hours to complete the course.
The Novice course follows many of the same areas with reduced distance and fewer hills. It includes the Honeymoon Steps on the running leg and less technical single-track mountain biking, plus a short kayak leg. Novice distances are approximately 5–15 km of mountain biking, 3–5 km of trail running and 1–2 km of kayaking. Novice teams generally finish in about 2–4 hours.
Audley provides visitor facilities including a café, picnic grounds and boat hire options. Organisers supply kayaks for all courses and offer bike hire if required. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
