The Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge (MWPTC) was inspired by the Australian Formula One driver with a dream to create an event that combined his love of keeping fit in the great outdoors, with raising funds for Australian charity organizations.
The Challenge, an annual event, is held in one of the world’s best adventure playgrounds – Tasmania. Competed on a course which is re designed each year the event could begin around the jagged contours and icy streams of Cradle Mountain, pass through the white sandy beaches of Freycinet National Park and visit the historic village of Strachan, all the time delivering competitors an experience of a lifetime.
The Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge is the world's most premium adventure race and takes in over 250km of terrain; trekking, kayaking, mountain biking and a couple of mystery challenges just for good measure.
Mark Webber Challenge Management are looking for a number of 'gun' women adventure racers to be involved and give the guys a run for their money. To be a part of this great adventure contact nancy@markwebberchallenge.com.

FREE training familiarisation weekend at Forster - All Welcome!
Escape the city for ultimate weekend of adventure THIS WEEKEND with the first course familiarisation sessions for the Anaconda Adventure Race at Forster taking place on Saturday and Sunday July 12 and 13th.
What better way to spend the weekend than paddling beneath awesome ocean cliffs and on picturesque lakes, running along remote beaches and through pristine forests, or mountain biking along flowing single track offering million dollar coastal views. Swimming – well, ah, yeah it might be a bit cooler than normal but don a good Zoot wetsuit and you’ll be as warm as toast (we promise!).
Its all set to take place at Forster this weekend amidst the friendly, non competitive environment of a free course familiarisation session that is open for anyone and everyone to attend. Basically organized as a group training session, the famil weekends are designed to lead potential competitors over the race course so you know what to expect on race day, to meet a few people and get in some good training. All further details and schedule for the weekend can be found here.
Last year the Forster leg of the Anaconda Adventure Race certainly had the best atmosphere, highest enthusiasm and community feel out of all the races and with a stunning course to boot it really is an event not to miss and the famil weekend is a great way to get ready for it.
If you can’t make it this weekend then a second famil will be held on August 2nd and 3rd before the race itself on August 30th and 31st. For more info visit www.rapidascent.com.au or contact Christie christiesym@mac.com
