Welcome to the Townsville Taste & Junior Adventurethon.
This awesome event challenges you to transition from an off road run, into a flat water paddle, and finally through a mountain bike course to reach your finish line. Just think what an amazing achievement that would be.
The run can be attempted in any sensible running shoes, the flatwater paddle in any paddle craft provided it has built in floatation and you are wearing a PFD, and you will need a sound, fully functioning mountain bike for the ride.
This is a stand alone event. That means you are able to nominate for this event if you wish and there is no requirement to sign up for any other event over the course of the weekend. Medals will be awarded to all those that complete the course.
