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.
HUGE NEWS: We’re thrilled to announce Rapid Ascent is now offering multi-day, adventure holidays under the banner of “Rapid Ascent Journeys”.
These trips aren’t your bog standard “guided tours”.
Far from it, in fact.
These trips are for REAL adventurers.
They’re for people who want to get (far) off the beaten track, who are willing to puff and sweat to earn the view.
For those who know a good dose of challenge leads to greater satisfaction, better stories, stronger friendships and sweeter tasting food.
If that’s you, we think you’re going to love this new style of “hardship holiday”.
GET ALL THE DETAILS HERE: www.RapidAscentJourneys.com.au
We will offer adventure trips in two major categories:
1. PRE-PLANNED JOURNEYS: Small-group adventures that we'll devise, list on our website and offer to our inner-circle of adventurers (like you!).
Our first pre-planned trip is a 6-day, all-inclusive gravel riding journey through the Great Ocean Road Region in March 2024 (LEARN MORE HERE: bit.ly/3R4RLCr).
And…
2. BESPOKE JOURNEYS: Got a milestone birthday coming up? Or an anniversary? Or a corporate trip? Get your group of mates together and let us be your "adventure consultants".
We'll use our decades of expedition experience to craft, organise and deliver your dream adventure trip alongside you.
Why are RAPID ASCENT expanding into journeys? Two reasons:
REASON 1: These trips are already a huge part of our lives.
We routinely head off on journeys into the great outdoors to ride, paddle, run and hike through landscapes most people will never visit. We’ve got decades of experience planning and executing wild voyages and…
REASON 2: We know that not everyone wants to race. All our other events have a clock ticking and the pressure of a stopwatch added to the experience. Let’s get outdoors and throw away the clock and engage with each other, the landscape and our freedom.
Because there is something about sharing a journey, putting in the physical effort and the supreme satisfaction that that comes with savouring the experiences at the end of the day.
It somehow puts life into technicolour.
So, if you’re looking for your next “hardship holiday”, or you want to tackle an expedition that’s truly once-in-a-lifetime…

We can’t wait to explore the nooks, crannies, peaks and valleys of this wild world with you.

Awesome guys
Kim Weston one to keep on eye on 😉
Nice to see your lovely faces!!
I'll definitely be in for something! Not your first one, as I'm already booked out for March. How about a bikepacking, or, even better, a BIKERAFTING trip? So much I want to do there, but just don't know too many locations, and "nigel no mates" to do bumpier stuff
👊🏽
Awesome that’s very exciting!!

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/
