Competitors will be unsupported in their 800+km journey as they race day and night on a course involving stages of trekking, mountain biking, lake and white water kayaking and roping. Navigation is a key element of the event and the course is only revealed 24hrs before the start.The XPD course will take competitors through the highlights of the Australian High Country. Some of these experiences will include grand views some of Australia's highest mountains; flat and white water paddling on crystal clear streams and rivers fed by melting winter snow; exploring the alpine forests of snow gum, sub-alpine ash and tall mountain gums; stops at historic gold rush towns; and breathing crisp mountain air while dangling from ropes on exposed high country cliff faces.
