From the team that delivers the Contact Epic and the old M2M, we how have a new event on the calendar.

Its a 5 stage unassisted Multi Sport Race, starting and finishing at the Glendhu Bay Holiday Park. The legs are very achievable and is a great chance to prepare and practice for those summer events or just a fun day out with friends, workmates or the family.

This event is for teams and individuals who Run, Road Bike, Run, Kayakor Swim and then Mountain Bike to the finish line. A permanent unassisted transition center is set up at Glendhu Bay which allows for great spectator viewing and involvement. This means no more moving from transition to transition, bring your deck chair, set up for the day and enjoy the racing.

Whether you want a good day out as an individual or a fun and fast team event, then come and be part of this new race.
