Spring Challenge
The Spring Challenge is a team adventure race for women held 24th-26th September 2027. Teams are made up of three people and the event mixes rafting, biking, and hiking over a set time.
Courses are chosen so that time on course, not total distance, guides event selection. Organisers design target winning times for three formats: 3 hour, 6 hour, and 9 hour events. Each format balances the three disciplines differently to suit the intended duration.
Distances for recent course designs are given as examples:
- 3 hour event: Raft 9 km, Bike 18 km, Hike 3 km
- 6 hour event: Raft 9 km, Bike 30 km, Hike 8 km
- 9 hour event: Raft 9 km, Bike 32 km, Hike 23 km
The event emphasises teamwork, preparation, and sustained activity across disciplines. Teams train and plan together in the lead up to the event, and the formats allow participants to choose a duration that fits their fitness and experience. The Spring Challenge takes place in locations where terrain varies year to year, so course distance can change while intended race time remains the guiding measure of effort.
