The full stage race. Race Classic Long on Saturday, then line up again on Sunday for Classic Short. Your times from both days are combined into one overall result.

Two big days of trekking, mountain biking, paddling and navigation test your endurance and teamwork. In between, you get an evening to rest, refuel and swap stories with the other teams. Epic is for racers who want the complete Coastal Quest experience.

One day, big adventure. Saturday’s stage takes you to Lorne, where the Otway Ranges meet the sea. You’ll trek, mountain bike and kayak through an exhilarating course that leaves you breathless and proud of what you’ve achieved.

Ideal if you want a full day of racing without committing to the whole weekend.

A shorter, faster day. Sunday’s Classic course packs every discipline into a tighter race. It’s a great step up for racers who want a full adventure race with a little less time on course.

Epic teams race this course too, so expect fast company on the start line.

Fun for everyone. New to adventure racing? Novice is a shorter version of Sunday’s Classic Short course and the perfect introduction to the sport. You’ll still trek, mountain bike, kayak and navigate, on a course that keeps things fun and accessible for every skill level.

A great way to challenge yourself and try something new without feeling overwhelmed.
