There\u2019s a new breed of traveller out there \u2013 they\u2019re fit, fast and ready for an adventure.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather be climbing a mountain than hopping on a tour bus, here\u2019s our Listopedia of adventure races from around the world.<\/p>\n

GODZone Adventure Race, New Zealand<\/a><\/h2>\n

New Zealand\u2019s Lake Wanaka is the setting for the next GODZone Adventure race and with 500km of hiking, kayaking, mountain biking and downright exhaustion ahead of them, competitors are already training for the Feb\/March 2015 start date. Travelling non-stop, day and night, with rest at your own discretion, this is not a race for the faint of heart, stamina or will power. Teams of four, containing at least one woman, will spend seven days out in the wilderness \u2013 or less if they don\u2019t stop to sleep or eat. The course is usually kept top secret so teams will literally have to think on their feet and rely on strength, both mental and physical, to make it through to the finish line.<\/p>\n

Mud Run, Sydney<\/a><\/h2>\n

A good one for adventure race beginners, this annual event takes place in Sydney\u2019s west on a 7km course. As the name suggests, there is a fair bit of mud involved and obstacles ensure everyone gets dirty. Competitors will have to run, wade, slide and crawl through the course, next held on December 6th. If you\u2019re keen to kick start your fitness regime, there\u2019s a 12 week \u201ccouch to 7km\u201d workout guide too.<\/p>\n

Jungle Marathon, Brazil<\/a><\/h2>\n

Piranhas nipping at your heels \u2013 one way to make you run faster. This grueling 254km marathon (there are 42 and 127km options too) takes place in the heart of the Amazon, where nature throws everything it\u2019s got at the competitors. Expect river and swamp crossings, mud running and the occasional anaconda obstacle. Not that the presence of dangerous animals in guaranteed. The village of Alter do Chao is the assembly point, from there it\u2019s a 10-12 hour boat ride along the Flona Tapajos river to base camp. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll be briefed in jungle safety \u2013 how to deal with snakes and poisonous plants \u2013 before six days in the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
