What is adventure?
‘An unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity”
Adventure is about experiencing life. It is about looking at the world from a different perspective. It is choosing to see the beauty from the ordinary and finding ways on how to do it differently. It is about treading a different path, embracing your individuality and connecting with nature.
Adventure is not just hanging off a cliff on a rope it is exploring where you are and choosing to look at it differently. It’s going on a road trip not because you want to reach a particular destination, but because the journey there would awesome!
Adventure is thinking big about who you are. It’s about identity, life and legacy. It fosters curiosity, grit, determination and resilience. Adventure is about getting outside our comfort zone, breaking your routine and committing to the lessons we learn in the outdoors, rising to challenges and unveiling our true potential.
Every day can be an adventure.
Get Outside
We love the outside and
want you to love it too.
Our lives today are fast-paced, technology-packed bundles of busyness. Between work, the commute, taking care of the family, cooking and cleaning, watching television, connecting on social media, and more, we’re spending an average of 90% of our time sitting down indoors. This is not good and is having a negative impact on our physical and mental health.
We believe it is time we unplugged, switched off the devices and stepped outside.
Be Rad
Being ‘rad’ is so far from cool
that it is cool!
Adventure, the outdoors and radical thinking is a growing movement. What we do is designed for that emerging wave. Our focus is on opportunity and completion – not competition. Our aim is to delight through unexpected surprises and enabling people to do their best – at whatever level that may be. Our aim also is to unite people through collective achievement and a common appreciation of the outdoors. In short we aim to WOW.
How we do this is, we believe, quite exceptional. Like our name it’s fun, it’s different. Like our name, it’s out there. Like ‘one day, someone will think up this crazy stuff and do it’ is out there. That someone is us. And that stuff isn’t always crazy. Sometimes it’s obvious. It’s just that no one has been clever enough or crazy enough or daring enough to do it before now.

With so much uncertainty around events, easing of restrictions and vaccination targets we have had to call off this years LAKES Trail Festival
LAKES Trail Festival Oct 30&31 - Called Off
Unfortunately our race weekend is too close to the forecast lock down lifting dates but more importantly the post vaccination target road map does not cover outdoor events. How the lifting of restrictions and the tracking of vaccinated vs unvaccinated participants will impact events is still unknown. This is compounded by the ongoing risk of snap lock downs across regional NSW when a single case is detected.
I am absolutely gutted and was primed for this event. All entrants will be sent an email with options including the opportunity to run your LAKES distance virtually. Next year’s race will be on July 2&3 and I really do hope you will all stay with us and come run next year.It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform you all that there will be no LAKES Trail Festival this year.
The LAKES Trail Festival Oct 30&31 has been called off.
Unfortunately our race weekend is too close to the forecast lock down lifting dates but more importantly the post vaccination target road map does not cover outdoor events. How the easing of restrictions and the tracking of vaccinated vs un-vaccinated participants will impact outdoor events is still unknown. This is compounded by the ongoing risk of snap lock downs across regional NSW when a single case is detected.
With so much uncertainty I had no other choice and I wanted to give runners as much time as possible to adjust travel arrangements.

Thank you so much for supporting the LAKES.
Be safe over the next couple of months and I look forward to seeing you on the start line in July 2022.

Damn !
The measure of an athlete is not always how fast they are but rather how committed they are to the sport. This is a legendary moment from Australian Paralympian Stuart Jones.

Looking for some adventure to watch on TV?
Check out The River Runner on Netflix - definitely worth it.
It is the story of Scott Lindgren’s quest to be the first person to paddle the four great rivers that originate from Tibet’s sacred Mount Kailash and while it features incredible paddling it is more than a gripping whitewater flick. It is an intimate chronicle of some one connected deeply to the outdoors and how this fits or doesn't fit with life.
As a highly accomplished expedition kayaker and whitewater filmmaker, Lindgren always forbade any sign of emotional vulnerability on the river; he saw it as a weakness that might jeopardize the fortitude needed for extreme waters. It takes a life-changing diagnosis, followed by a dark night of the soul, for him to finally learn how to show up with an open heart.
Breath taking footage, extreme expedition kayaking in remote locations combined with life changing messages.
