A huge congratulations to every single person who took on the Lake Macquarie Max Adventure Race. Whether you were tackling your first ever adventure race, heading out for a big day with mates, or lining up determined to beat your previous time, you should be seriously proud of what you achieved out there.

This year had that magic mix: great trail conditions, some mean hill climbs, and a course that felt just a little tougher than usual. We kicked off under an overcast sky& and ended with that perfect blue-sky finish you wish you could bottle and take home.

And a special shout-out to our biggest Kids Course turnout ever at Lake Macquarie, the energy from the little legends mightve been the best part of the whole day.
