X-Adventure is the ultimate mix of triathlon and adventure racing featuring an ocean swim in the clear waters of Geographe Bay, trail run along the stunning granite coastline and mountain bike through the single tracks of Meelup Regional Park.
After the 2020 version of the event was cancelled due to COVID-19, organisers Rapid Ascent are calling on triathlete and adventure racing enthusiasts along with Dunsborough locals to make up for lost time and get behind the 2021 event.
"We genuinely love what we do here at Rapid Ascent - conducting events that put smiles on people's faces in some beautiful parts of the country," Rapid Ascent's general manager Sam Maffett said.
"To have had to cancel this fan-favourite event three weeks out from the 2020 race was devastating; not just for us as a business, but for the participants who put their heart and soul into training and planning their weekend away.
"We could not be happier to see events going ahead in Western Australia and we can't wait to deliver an even bigger and better X-Adventure next April!"
Conducted in a friendly and welcoming race atmosphere, the weekend features five different off-road races attracting more than 1,500 competitors and many more spectators.
Athletes of all abilities are welcome with a race to suit everyone.
Held over two days, the premier Long Course race is included in the 2021 Triathlon WA State Championships.
The X-Adventure Long Course includes 34 kilometres of action with a 1500m ocean swim, 12km trail run, and 20km mountain bike ride.
The weekend also includes a Short course option (700 metre ocean swim, 6km coastal trail run and 11km mountain bike), an Aquathlon-X (1km swim, 5km trail run) event and other events designed especially for children.
Entries to the 2021 X-Adventure Dunsborough are OPEN ONLINE at XAdventure.com.au.
