Notes"Mark Webber wanted to place people outside their comfort zone and get them challenging themselves and we achieved that. Tasmania is a unique location and an event like this, which can test everyone from elite to enthusiast, just shows what the human body can do, whatever shape it’s in! It’s been great to see everyone develop tremendously as adventure racers over the week and we can’t wait for next year…"John Jacoby, Challenge course director

"We’ve done 35 hours of racing this week and I’ve never done more than 24 hours of exercise in a week! We’ve done all that at race pace, and navigating, so it’s pretty mentally tough. The scenery was amazing and the whole experience was incredible."

"We just didn’t want to throw it away today. We made some big mistakes on day three and maybe that was a good thing, it made us a bit more focused on getting it right today. At the front we have had to race hard for all five days, so we’re pretty stoked with that."
