Edited Note: Distances have been updated in November 2018 subsequent to further course vetting. With entries due to open for the Raid 100 shortly, this is a quick little post to give you a clearer idea of what you are buying in to. A 100 hour multisport rogaine is a pretty novel concept – the first event of it’s kind to the best of my knowledge (although I’m sure there’s […]
Raid Adventures will be hosting Australia’s first ever expedition length, rogaine format adventure race. The Rogue 24 hour event that the Raid 100 is based on has a tradition of rapidly selling out. As such, we have had to implement an entry procedure in the past that ensures entries are obtained in a fair and equitable manner. We are entering uncharted territory with the Raid 100, however, I will be […]
Well, another Rogue Raid race is run and done. The ninth edition saw the largest field to ever tackle a 24 hour adventure race in Australia and, combined with the 6 hour competitors, saw almost 280 racers hit the Lake Samsonvale area running, kayaking and mountain biking to collect as many check points as possible before the clocked ticked over to time’s up. Let’s begin a recap of the race […]
So time again for another Adventure1 race predictions blog, and onto some more familiar ground for me: the Rogue Raid. With 184 competitors surviving to make the 24 hour start line (and we all know making the start line is the hardest part of any adventure race) and another 90 racers in the 6 hour event, this will be one of the largest 24 hour adventure races ever held in […]

A quick wrap up on the first ever Colts Raid and Scatter Raid races. In a first for this event format, teams were set with the challenge of picking up as many check points as possible over 3 hours of racing mountain bikes, kayaks, running and a surprise swimming leg. With 37 check points spread over 7 legs, strategy was always going to play a massive role in the final […]

The Rogue Raid The final touches have been made to the Rogue Raid course and I can now reveal a few hints for what competitors of the 24 hour race […]
Having finalised the course setting for the Colts Raid and Scatter Raid races, I’m pretty excited about the events we have in store for you. With 37 check points spread over 7 stages to chase down in just 3 hours, strategy and navigation will play just as big a role as raw speed in this format of racing. Indeed, my advice would be for teams to plan their course wisely […]
It’s with disappointment that we have made the decision to postpone the Colts Academy training day originally scheduled for 15 April this year. Unfortunately, we have not received enough entry numbers to make the event viable. With a busy calendar of races in the first half of the year, a short lead in time, and a critical calendar clash with an Orienteering QLD training camp the same weekend, we have […]
