About this event
Manly Dam brings the Sprint Series Adventure Race to Sydney's Northern Beaches for a team-based course combining navigation, trail running, mountain biking and kayaking. Teams of two stay together as they use maps to find checkpoints across bushland, trails and water.
Race Manly Dam
The event is based in the scenic Manly Dam reserve, with a course that is kept secret until race morning. Participants can expect off-road running or walking, mountain biking on 4WD trails and single track, and a kayaking leg using equipment supplied as part of entry.
Choose Your Course
- Classic: approximately 5 to 7 km run, 15 km mountain bike and 5 km kayak.
- Novice: approximately 3 km run, 8 to 10 km mountain bike and 2 km kayak.
Both courses are designed for teams of two, with first-timers welcome alongside more experienced adventure racers. Under-18 participants can join when accompanied by an adult, and participants must be over eight years old on event day.
Race Day Flow
Race morning includes bike drop-off, registration, briefing and a 9:00 am course start. The first teams are expected back late morning, with most teams finishing around early afternoon before presentations and the lucky draw.

Standard team entry is listed at $258 for a two-person team. Entry includes a professionally organised event, maps, timing system, post-event fruit, water safety, kayak transport and kayak equipment hire.
