All Women’s Adventure Race

Gear and Equipment Required

Wetsuit: A wetsuit is compulsory for rafting. We highly recommend wearing a full-length wetsuit for added warmth, protection, and flotation. Running shoes and a bike helmet are also mandatory.

Mountain bike: Everyone needs a mountain bike and helmet. Each team needs tools for basic trail repairs. You'll need front & rear bike lights if you're night riding.

Support Crew

Each team needs a support crew. We suggest a 4WD vehicle as the crew vehicle, that can carry three bikes. No motor homes, trailers or large vehicles.
Each team is permitted 1-support vehicle only.

NO DOGS

We love dogs, but parts of the course and transition areas are in reserves and private farms.
