Ona Mission Multisport Adventure
Ona Mission is a multisport event in Mission Beach and Dunk Island, Queensland held on 6 September 2026. The format combines paddle, trail run, paddle, mountain bike and beach run across island and mainland terrain. The on-course route begins with a paddle from South Mission Beach to Dunk Island, includes a trail run through the island rainforest, a paddle back to the mainland, a mountain bike loop that uses beach, road and World Heritage rainforest tracks, and finishes with a beach and track run to the finish. Organisers may change the course prior to the event.
Distances are offered as two course options:
- Short Course: 42 KM total
- Long Course: 59 KM total
Participant categories include individual and team entries, with age categories for Open and Masters. The long course minimum age is 18 years; the short course permits junior participation from 13 to 17 years with parental approval. Teams may be 2 to 4 persons. E-bikes may be entered but must be identified and are not eligible for event placings. Transitions have water refill points and checkpoints record race numbers.
Mandatory equipment includes personal water and nutrition, suitable watercraft and paddle, a Type 1 or Type 2 personal flotation device (no inflatable PFDs), a dry bag for shoes, running shoes for island and beach stages, and a mountain bike with an approved cycling helmet. Registrations open in April 2026. Every complete entry is included in a spot-prize draw for a bike sponsored by Wobble In Bicycles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
