WHO ARE WE?
Explore Gippsland is organised by Thought Sports Pty Ltd, a family team of Rob and Kathryn Preston. We have extensive backgrounds in adventure and endurance sports primarily specialising in the skill of navigation.
We provide navigation training for Adventure Racing, Rogaining and Orienteering and now share the love for our local environment through Explore Gippsland Adventure Race.
Our team Gippsland Adventure recently starred with 3rd Place in The World's Toughest Race - Eco-Challenge Fiji now showing on Amazon Prime.
We understand the needs and dreams of our participants, because we are first and foremost athletes and always will be. Our events deliver unique challenges in locations we have hand picked to show off the magnificent variety of landscapes Gippsland has to offer.
