Coastal Quest is more than just a race—it’s an adventure that pushes you to your limits and brings out the best in you.

This thrilling 3-stage adventure race combines trekking, mountain biking, and kayaking across some of the most stunning landscapes on the Victorian Surf Coast. Each stage is a challenge of its own, but after a full day of racing, you’ll enjoy a well-earned night’s rest before taking on the next stage the following day.

 

Choose Your Adventure:

There’s a racing option for every level:

  • Epic: All three days – the ultimate adventure.
  • Classic: Saturday only – a full day of action.
  • Novice: Sunday only – a shorter, fun introduction.

Whether you commit to one day or the full journey, you’ll share in an unforgettable experience of challenge, discovery, and achievement.

 

Location & Setting

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Anglesea, Surf Coast, Victoria, teams will navigate coastal trails, lakes, and forested terrain. You’ll rely on teamwork, strategy, and endurance—unlocking a sense of accomplishment with every checkpoint.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an elite racer, Coastal Quest is your chance to bond with a teammate, test yourself, and create memories of resilience, triumph, and personal growth.
