EVENT SCHEDULE

Red Bull Defiance will be held in the Mission Beach area in the beautiful state of Queensland.

The event will be held over three days, from August 25th – 27th 2023.

Day 1 includes a prologue that will involve competitors competing in beach activities and kayaking. It will also include formal registration, equipment familiarisation, athlete safety briefs and gear reviews. It is compulsory for all athletes to attend day 1. If you do not attend day 1 you will not be able to compete. Please ensure your travel plans accommodate this.

Day 2 and day 3 will be the race which will comprise trail running, mountain biking, kayaking, rafting, ropes courses and mystery stages. The course is designed to challenge you physically and mentally. To complete the course you will need to be in peak physical condition. Ensure that you have prepared adequately with your training but also the gear and equipment that you bring. This could be the difference between successfully completing the course and falling short.
