Sprint Series Adventure Race: Manly Dam, NSW
Date: Sunday, 29 March 2026
Location: Manly Dam, NSW, Australia
Join us for the Sprint Series Adventure Race at Manly Dam—an exhilarating multi-discipline event set in the scenic surroundings of Manly Dam Reserve, just minutes from Sydney. Teams of two will navigate a dynamic course through lush forest, winding trails, and open waterways, combining trail running, mountain biking, and kayaking.
Using maps and compass, teams work together to locate checkpoints across varied terrain—by foot, mountain bike, and kayak. Both teammates must stay together throughout the event, emphasizing teamwork and navigation skills. Kayaks are provided as part of your entry, and the kayaking leg takes place on the picturesque Manly Dam waterway. The running sections traverse 4WD tracks, walking paths, and off-road trails, while the mountain biking stages challenge riders on a mix of fire roads and technical single track.
Designed for all skill levels, the event offers both a full course for experienced racers and a novice course for those new to adventure racing. Whether you’re seeking a competitive challenge or an adventurous day out in nature, the Sprint Series at Manly Dam delivers excitement, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories.
