Adrenalin Quest 2026: A Defining Victory and an Unforgettable Showcase of Australian Adventure Racing

The 2026 edition of Adrenalin Quest will be remembered as a landmark year — not only for its spectacular course across the Eurobodalla region of New South Wales, but for the commanding and inspiring performance of Elizabeth Dornom and Shelley Bambrook, who dominated the Epic course from start to finish.

Adventure racing is one of the most exciting and physically demanding sports in the world. It combines endurance, teamwork, navigation, and strategy into a multi-disciplinary challenge that takes participants through diverse and often rugged outdoor environments.

The South Coast of New South Wales is set to come alive with adventure this February as Adrenalin Quest Stage Adventure Race returns for 2026. 

Lysterfield showed its wild personality for this year’s Women Only Adventure Race, serving up icy winds, plenty of mud and a persistent chill that pushed every team to dig deep.

Your feet will carry you through every muddy trail, rocky scramble, river crossing, and long haul—so choosing the right adventure racing shoes can make or break your race.
