WELCOME TO THE ANACONDA MINI
Welcome (newcomers) to The Anaconda Mini adventure race at Augusta on Saturday November 2nd, 2013.
Want an adventure without the (extreme) effort of the full distance Anaconda Adventure Race? Or maybe you’re not as fit as you’d like to be (due to time, work, kids…) but still want a share of the off-road fun on offer at the iconic Augusta Anaconda Adventure Race? Or possibly you’re new to this whole adventure race thing and want to ease your way into it… then the new Anaconda Mini is designed just for you!
Created especially for novices and intermediate adventurers, the Anaconda Mini lets those new to getting down and dirty in the bush have a share in thefun with a “half” distance course that’s achievable by just about anyone. You’ll still run along a few rocky coastlines, mountain bike on single tracks through the bush, paddle and swim in the protected waters of the Flinders Bay just like the rest of them in the premier Anaconda race – but in the Mini, it’s all broken into bite sized chunks to make it less intimidating (and requiring less commitment) for those less experienced.
- 600m Swim (+500m run)
- 6.4km Inlet and Ocean paddle
- 3km Trail Run
- 11.6km Mountain Bike
- 2.7km Coastal Run
So dust off your bike, flick the cob webs off your running shoes and pull out your (neighbour’s) boat if you are going to tackle it solo, or round up a few friends and form a fun relay team and do one leg each for a weekend adventure you’ll never forget and come on down to the Anaconda Mini adventure race at Augusta on Saturday November 3rd, 2012.

Calling all the Ladies:
The Anaconda Mini aims to be especially inclusive of female competitors and will have a separate women’s-only start after the main (mixed) field. So ladies, if you have been intimidated by the thought of doing an adventure race before, then throw those ideas away and come and have some fun – this is a very achievable challenge and who knows, in following years it may give you the confidence to step up to the premier event!
