Rat Race Urban Adventure Series

Looking for a high-adrenaline adventure in your backyard? Then the Rat Race Urban Adventure Challenge might just be your cup of tea.

Raise funds for RedR and enjoy this totally unique adventure challenge which will test your navigation, endurance, skills and guts on a course that is only revealed hours before the event begins. Taking place across the country, this legendary urban adventure turns cities into high-adrenaline adventure playgrounds for participants of all abilities.

This is a two day event. On the first day participants take part in a checkpoint hunt which lasts for 2.5 hours covering 10-15 km. On day 2, the Rat Race Adventure course launches participants on a 60km bike based adventure with challenges where participants will climb, get wet and have a great time while undertaking a testing physical challenge.

Team composition

There are two ways you can enter the Weekender events - as pairs or as teams of three. You can earn points toward the Rat Race Series championship if you are a MIXED TEAM OF THREE. Then there are classes for mixed and single sex teams in pairs and teams of 3.
