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.
Soak up spectacular views as you ride along the "champagne gravel" that snakes through the Otway Ranges.
The Great Otway Gravel Grind allows for easy social riding or fast paced gravel racing that anyone can be part of.
The Big Ring 97km circuit takes riders on an amazing journey across the ranges to the coast line and back again (with some amazing flowy descents!). The roads are deeply submerged in the Otway forest with towering trees, ferns and fresh air lining the road before a pleasant section along the Great Ocean Road.
The 49km race provides a spectacular ride through towering timber forests on a beautiful circuit through the Otway Ranges. This is an achievable ride for riders of variable fitness who want to enjoy some fresh air on quiet dirt roads.

Is this a stich up?? 😅
Check out what was written on Nick’s XTERRA Dunsborough entry form (submitted last week):
“My wife has entered me into this without me knowing, I love to trail run but never get time. I am also annoyingly good at it, not much training needed. Whereas my wife would need to train for months to run the 21km I could do a few runs and be ready to go. I also hate warming up and wonder why I hurt after the run. 🙂 I also don't do social media but my wife does”
If it’s not clear, these are NOT Nick’s words.
They have been written by his very generous wife who entered him into the 21 KM trail running race without him knowing! (He’s not on social media so hopefully this won’t ruin the surprise.)
Our only question is: when is Nick getting told he’s running 21 KM?!
Or is it a matter of hoping that his superior genetics and the stunning scenery of Meelup Regional Park are enough to carry him through without training?
In any case, Nick is a very lucky man. He’s in for an absolute treat and sounds like he'll be well up for the challenge!
If you’d like to challenge yourself at XTERRA Dunsborough (or challenge an unsuspecting family member!)...

Hello, I’m Nick Howe wife. Don’t worry I will tell him so he can go for a few jogs before hand 😝
Sounds like Nick's wife would like a day to herself 😂
IT’S OFFICIAL: The appetite for ultra running is through the roof in this country!
We’re humbled to say that the Margaret River Ultra Marathon has sold out in record breaking time.
The 80 KM race filled up in just 27 hours, with 1,500 competitors chomping at the bit to test their physical and mental limits in the stunning scenery of South West WA.
Now, the inaugural 42 KM event has sold out too! 400 brave runners have put their hands up to tackle the new marathon distance, and there’s no doubt they’re going to be blown away by the pristine forests, beaches and capes speckled throughout this course.
THANK YOU to all you awesome runners for sharing our passion for the sport and for your overwhelming support of this event.
We can’t wait to share this experience with you in May!
For all the details (and to joing the waiting list) check out the website here: margaretriver.rapidascent.com.au/

GIRO DELLA DONNA 2023 CANCELLED!!
(Don’t put your fitness to waste!)
GRAVELLERS: you’ve probably heard that this weekend’s Giro Della Donna has been cancelled due to wild weather forecasts and safety concerns.
Our hearts and go out to the organisers. We know it’s never easy to pull the pin on something you’ve worked so hard on for so long.
Having said that…
We also feel for all you cyclists who are trained, tapered and raring to race. We know there’s a lot of collective fitness (and excitement) in those legs and we’d hate to see it go to waste.
So…
In an attempt to ease some of the frustration, we’re offering 10% off entries to the 2024 Great Otway Gravel Grind (valid until midnight Sunday 26th November 2023).
Now you can keep the training going and be “cherry ripe” by the time the GOGG rolls around in Feb.
To claim the “fitness transfer” discount:
Go here: bit.ly/483Jd5N
Use the discount code FITNESSTRANSFER10 at checkout.
Long live the gravel race 🤙
P.S. The Giro Della Donna is, of course, offering a FREE entry transfer to the 2024 Giro Della Donna in November next year. This is just a little something to help keep the stoke alive in the meantime.
