Enjoy a 2-kilometre swim out and back in the majestic Nitmiluk (Second) George. Wetsuits permitted.
Canoe 4.2km
After the swim leg, participants will pair up in a double canoe. Pairs will be made up according to the finishing order of the swim – i.e. 1st and 2nd paddle together, 3rd and 4th, etc. – those in a team will begin the paddle once their swimmer has finished. Pairs will paddle out and back together, discovering a little more of the speccy Nitmiluk (Second) George. note – all canoes are supplied by Nitmiluk, no participants are permitted to bring their own
Trail Run 8km
After exiting the canoe you or your team trail runner will head up Bamjon to the top of the cliff face at Pat’s Lookout and travel along the clearly marked path (Waleka) to the awe-inspiring Jeddah’s Rock. Then head towards Butterfly Junction. From the Junction, scoot along (Yambi) before flying down (Gurumal Trail) back to transition at the Nitmiluk Ranger Station.
Road Ride 40km
From the Nitmiluk Ranger Station, push yourself towards the edge of the Katherine township before turning at Jaensch Road to roll back to the transition area at the Nitmiluk Ranger Station.
Mountain Bike 18km
Jump from one bike to another (or use the same), and you will be awe-struck as you ride through brand new, world class, flowing tracks, crisscrossing the Southern Escarpment before arriving back at the transition area at the Nitmiluk Ranger Station.
To top off the epic day, tick your legs over for 10 clicks on an out-and-back 4WD course towards Seventeen Mile Creek to return back to the finish line to copious cheers and an extremely well earned beverage (cup of water). Please note that this course includes both rocky and sandy sections.
