Welcome to Rapid Ascent
Regarded as Australia’s leading Adventure Sports Event Management company, Rapid Ascent organises off-road, adventure and niche sports events across Australia ranging from mass participation adventure races (the world’s largest!) to boutique mountain bike festivals.
Entries to the Great Southern Stage Run open at 12:00pm AEDT tomorrow.
Limited to 70 teams and 30 solos we're expecting them to go quickly.
Will you be part of Australia's newest (and most exciting?) ultra running stage race?

Susan Robertson, Jane Yates, Ed Dawson - one day when everyone can run again?
We're in count down mode for two reasons today:
1) entries open to our new Great Southern Stage Run at 12:00pm AEDT on Wednesday www.GreatSouthernStageRun.com.au
2) our local event - the Surf Coast Century - is this weekend with 800+ runners tackling 100km / 50km of our finest trails and beaches. www.SurfCoastCentury.com.au
Both are spectacular runs in beautiful coastal environments...
We’re conducting a live event briefing and Q&A session on the Great Southern Stage Run TONIGHT at 9:00pm AEDT (6:00pm AWST).
Sam and John will talk through the course, some logistics, entry requirements and respond to any questions about the event so runners know what’s coming ahead of entries opening next Wednesday 1st December.
Tune in to the Facebook Live presentation on the Rapid Ascent Ultra Running Events Facebook page and post your questions in the comments. The session will be recorded so you can watch afterwards.

Highlights from our return to racing with the Trail Running Series race at Silvan today.
It's great to be back...
Great obstacle course today 🤣🤣 Thanks for a fab event - can imagine how busy youve been! Appreciation to the vollies, and whoever put the crate down for the last tree climb 😂😂 See you at Werribee 👍👍
We are pumped to RETURN TO RACING in person this weekend – yeeha!!
The last round of COVID restrictions and border closures brought our events to a halt – forcing us to cancel / postponed everything for 4 months – UNTIL THIS WEEKEND when we will resume our Trail Running Series at Silvan in the mighty Dandenong Ranges.
All of us at Rapid Ascent love what we do and we really thrive on delivering our races and engaging with the people who do them, so to miss a lot of events for the second year in a row has been hard.
We are very grateful for the VIC Government’s support when things went quiet, and have become accustomed to re-organising our races 2, 3 and even 4 times so we all had something to look forward to – competitors and staff alike.
…until this weekend when we get to fire the start horn once again.
So thank you to all the beautiful people who have sent us messages of support over the last 6 months, to those who retained their entries and accepted the date changes when there was nothing certain in life any more.
We made it though and we’re looking forward to seeing you achieve your goals at our events once again.
Is the trail on tomorrow despite the weather ? Thanks
