GO-4-12 Events 15th - 16th March 2025

For nineteen years the GO-4-12 Youth Adventure Race has offered youth the opportunity to Explore, be Challenged and Grow through taking part in an Authentic Adventure Race designed to be Safe, fun and achievable.

With three events, a Three Hour a Six Hour and the original Twelve Hour event there is an event for everyone.
3 Hour Explorer - A Three hour event. For years 7 -10. Team of 2, single or mixed gender. A fun introduction to adventure racing with lots of different activities (no biking).
6 Hour Adventure - A Six hour event. For years 9 and above (School students). Team of 3, single or mixed gender. Fun with lots of different activities, biking, kayaking/rafting and navigation.

We want to challenge and grow young people through a quality adventure race, that will inspire trust, teamwork and self-belief in an environment that embodies and promotes holistic growth and healthy competition. The twelve-hour event is designed to challenge competitors' perseverance, teamwork and to stretch them both mentally and physically.

The 3 Hour Explorer is designed to be a fun introduction to Adventure Racing and can be achieved by any kid of any fitness, the focus is on fun and will have lots of stationary challenges. The 6 Hour Adventure event is more physically demanding than the 3 hour and provides a bridge into the 12 Hour Event and was developed as it was identified that the 12 hour was a bit daunting for many competitors.
