 Course overview
Hit the wall in your daily grind?
Looking for an adrenaline rush? Total relaxation? A little of both?
Divide and conquer and indulge on an adventure megafest in the adrenaline town of Dunsborough Geographe Bay and cash in on an endless summer vibe that’s guaranteed to keep the demons of burnout at bay.
We’ve been busy prowling the trails and connecting the dots over a radical new course through a jackpot of tightly packed parks and private land that is sure to challenge and inspire adventure enthusiasts of all abilities. Big surf and bombing single track, they’re all on the menu at this outdoor oasis.
The surfing ain’t bad either.
Stoked up on caffeine and a pinch of lunacy you’re primed to tame the tide in a deep water start that will take you 1.8km through the pancake flat waters of Geographe Bay from Dunsborough Boat Ramp to Centenary Park. Advance with the armada on a ‘whale watching’ paddle from Dunsborough down the tide sculptured coastline to Bunker Bay then treat your feet to a rough and tumble run around the Cape and over Leeuwin Ridge’s sandy slopes before you bullet breathless downhill into transition. With hammering hearts and a rocket rush of adrenaline you’ll exit Transition to embark on a shock-slamming journey that’ll test the toughness and prowess of all mountain bikers before you rejoin your race hardened comrades at Dunsborough Boat Ramp for the final back slapping beach run to glory.
Special mention needs to be made of the enthusiasm and support received from private land owners in granting exclusive access to the scenic landscapes through which the race traverses.
Broaden your perspective, push your limits, reignite your sense of possibility and uncork Anaconda’s apocalypse in 2008. You can do it! |
