General information:

The Murray Valley trails provide an awesome course for beginners and juniors with lots of fun without the technical challenges of the longer

courses. More adventurous riders looking for a little more adventure might opt to undertake the Enduro event, a longer distance with more technical sections to negotiate but this course should be achievable for beginners that are really up for a challenge. For the real adventurer, and most fun, the Ultra is your option; a long cross country course with lots of fun sections interspersed with some technical challenges.

To get to race HQ  just head east out from Dwellingup along Pinjarra-Williams Rd to the Nanga Rd turn-off and look for Del Park Rd on your left. Follow Del Park Rd for about 2 km and we will be waiting there for you. Keep your eyes open for the Adventurethon signs.

For some participants this will be the first of three stages as they attempt to complete the Ultimate  by DEMOLISHING all three Adventurethon Stages. Others will take a more leisurely approach and perhaps only tackle this stage. Whatever approach you take we guarantee you will have a blast. You won’t get bored as you traverse different terrains on these courses.

Welcome to the King Jarrah Adventure Run – Adventurethon Dwellingup – Stage 2.

Lane Poole Reserve provides a perfect setting for your adventure trail run with the 250 year old king jarrah right beside the circular trail which also follows the scenic Murray River.

Please note: for safety reasons we will be using the alternative shorter Ultra run course. There has been enough rain to make it dangerous for our course markers to cross the river and a strong possibility river levels may still be raised on race weekend. Therefore we are taking the safe option for you guys by using our alternative Ultra course. This change does not affect the Enduro or Taste/Junior courses, they remain as originally published.

Date: TBC

Competitor options: Ultra (long) 18; Enduro (medium) 14 km; Taste/Junior 7 km

Registrations: Registration is online only. Registrations close 9:00 pm Thursday 11th March or when sold out.

General information:

Adventurethon Stage Racing brings together a range of run distances to suit everyone from first timer to seasoned veteran. Beginners and Juniors can choose to challenge themselves at the shorter and less technical Taste or Junior distance. More adventurous runners looking for a little more adventure might opt to undertake the Enduro event, a longer and more difficult course. For the real adventurer, and greatest fun, the Ultra is your option.

For added thrills, all run courses include a high ropes challenge this year. Challenges will have a cut-off time of 5:05 pm however so don’t get too lazy out there on course. We also strongly recommend you carry a head torch in case you fail to return before dark. Timing will be very tight for some participants; walkers on the Ultra course may miss the high ropes cut.

For some participants this will be the first of three stages as they attempt to complete the Ultimate  by DEMOLISHING all three Adventurethon Stages.

Whatever approach you take we guarantee you will have a blast. You won’t get bored as you traverse different terrains on these courses.
