Frequently Asked Questions

How fit do I have to be and how much running is there?

All challenges are optional and are described in your course notes. Some are more mentally challenging and others physically. You choose which ones you would like to do!

The most strenuous part of the race is traveling between the challenges. These are spread across the Sunshine Coast and you can choose to run, walk or catch public transport to a place nearby. It is entirely up to you how fast you would like to go! The course is deliberately designed to ensure you use public transport in your strategy.

Do I have to be able to read a map?

You will need to be able to read a street directory or similar style map to get around the course. These will be provided for you once you register.

I don’t know the Sunshine Coast, will I be at a disadvantage?

The race is designed to minimise local knowledge as much as possible. Your strategy and abilities in the challenges will be far more important than local knowledge.

Can I enter on the day?

Sorry, all entries must be completed online before the race – more details on the entry page.

What is the wet weather plan?

Everyone gets wet .

I am looking for a team mate, where can I go?

The best place is to put a post on the Dare You Adventure Facebook page. Make sure you include your level of experience and goals for the race.
