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.

Thought Sports won XPD last night racing hard all the way to the finish.
Well done team - now to watch the battle for 2nd and 3rd!Winning Doesn't Come Easy
Team ''Resicon Thought Sports’ came into XPD-Rivers of Gold as one of the favourites and they won by a big margin. So everything is true to form, but let’s not take it for granted because it’s what we expected, or think it’s easier for them than for other teams.
They were popular favourites as 3 of the team finished 3rd together at Eco-Challenge Fiji and Rob Preston probably has more expedition racing experience than anyone in the field, but there was strong competition. Alpine Avengers had 3 of the team who won the last XPD, so if anything they were defending title holders, there were lots of past winners in other teams too, and Chipesti proved there is always an up and coming team who can shake things up.
Every kilometre they put in front of other teams was hard won and they could only get in front of them as a result of dedicated training, requiring a high level commitment and some personal sacrifice.
For Tim Boote and Angus Rodwell it’s a first XPD win, while Rob and Kathryn Preston are past winners, but not in the same team. (Rob has won 3 times before and Kathryn once.) There’s a good reason for that, it’s really hard for both parents of young children to take time out to race together, let alone put in the hours of training, which they have to do separately most of the time.
They won by a big margin in the end, and that will only have happened as they raced as a strong team, supporting each other when morale dropped or they were hurting. They bounced back from losing time on the Mitchell River when their maps disintegrated, and showed fantastic grit in the final stages to go without sleep and push hard to beat the dark zone and secure the win.
They won in 4 days of almost non-stop racing across 472km of ocean and outback, a sporting achievement which should be national news, but will largely go unnoticed as it’s beyond the comprehension of most people.
However, those within the adventure racing community know what a remarkable feat it is and can appreciate and applaud it. And they’ll do the same for every team that crosses the finish line at XPD Rivers of Gold.
Big blow to Ironman Port Macquarie with 2021 officially cancelled*IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE*
It is with incredible sadness that we must inform you that the 2021 National Storage IRONMAN Australia and 2021 IRONMAN 70.3 Port Macquarie will not take place as planned on 5 September.
Unfortunately, the recent extension to the lockdown in Greater Sydney announced on 14 July has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our ability to prepare and deliver this event, and the health and safety of competitors, staff, volunteers, and the regional community are, as always, of the utmost importance.
We understand that this is an extremely frustrating outcome for you, our event partners, key stakeholders and the local Port Macquarie-Hastings community. We especially feel for many of you for whom this was a fourth attempt at reaching the starting line.
Training for an IRONMAN is a huge undertaking with considerable sacrifices. Not being able to complete your journey to the finish line at this event, and for us to support you on that journey, is a very bitter pill to swallow.
All currently registered athletes should receive an email today regarding this decision. If you do not receive this by Wednesday 21 July, please contact us at [email protected]
As with the previous decisions for this and other events, we now look to the future with hope and positivity. We hope you can continue to focus on the prospect of a future finish line and the completion of your current IRONMAN journey. Please know that our team are feeling this decision just as much as you are – and we will continue to be by your side over the coming months.
Finally, our thoughts go out to those enduring the current lockdown in Greater Sydney. Stay strong.
The team at IRONMAN Australia
