The Great Adventure Challenge is a fun event for work colleagues and friends who love a challenge. A team event over approximately 8 short legs, this event requires perseverance, determination and teamwork. It is also a chance to make a difference – all funds raised go directly to the Starlight Children's Foundation so they may "brighten the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children across Australia".

After five editions of the Great Adventure Challenge in NSW, raising $906,021 for the Starlight Children's Foundation - we are proud to announce the expansion of the challenge in 2013 to include events in Victoria and Queensland. To date some of Australia's biggest multinational companies have taken part in the event encouraging the corporate world to down tools and take up adventure racing in the name of charity.

This year companies in VIC and QLD will have the opportunity to participate in their very own Great Adventure Challenge, hosted in close proximity to the major cities. Although fundraising is at the core of this event, it is designed to give companies something back in return for their fundraising efforts – something which they can take back into the office and help them create better workplace communities.

A key value of the event is about developing teamwork. Over the years we have had some fairly hard evidence that teams who complete the challenge will leave with an improved sense of team work, sharper decision making and greater workplace engagement – all for a wonderful cause! This is what Westpac said: "The leadership and teamwork skills we have developed across our business group in the fundraising activities has been invaluable and brought our business closer together"
