Race & Event Overview 
The Anaconda Adventure Race at Lorne is a spectacular off-road adventure event in and around the picturesque township of Lorne on the Great Ocean Road in the Otway ranges – if you want an adventure you’ll never forget then this is just the ticket.
Take part in this spectacular event you will swim around the iconic Lorne Pier and across the crystal clear Loutit Bay to the claps and cheers of thousands of spectators, you will paddle along the cliffs and golden beaches flanking the Great Ocean Road whilst surfing friendly southern ocean swells, you will run through rainforests, under massive tree ferns past mighty waterfalls and finally you will mountain bike to the top of the Otways and then come flying back down again on a cranking descent with a smile from ear to ear.
With adventures this genuine it is no great surprise that doing ‘The Anaconda’ has become a bit of an institution throughout Victoria and the Surf Coast with up to 1200 competitors putting themselves on the line for sake of a bit of fun – now its your turn.
Combine all this action with an adventure expo with kids entertainment, live commentary, food, drinks, displays and free stuff(!) and you have the ultimate weekend of adventure.
You can GO THE DISTANCE.
The Lorne Anaconda Adventure Race is the third race in the 2010 Anaconda Adventure Race National Series – the premier adventure racing series in Australia. With 4 races held in equally spectacular locations around the country you will be part of the off-road revolution that is sweeping the country.
Choose your style and get involved - the Anaconda Adventure Race can be completed in a range of categories to get anyone and everyone to onto the start then over the finish line:
- Individuals – do every leg as a non stop race around the track. Designed for heros and want-to-bes
- Pairs – do every leg but in the company of your mate who’s by your side the whole way round
- Relay teams – with up to 4 people where you do one (or more) legs each. A great way to get involved without being a super hero – build up a team of friends and work colleagues and join all the fun

Paddling
Not being a paddler is no longer a valid excuse for not giving the Anaconda a crack. We have a range of paddling sessions leading up to the event that will get even the most beginner paddlers surfing down waves and whooping with delight all the way around the paddle course!
Surf Ironman legend (and recent convert to multisport & adventure racing), Bruce Dunlop, conducts kayak training sessions in Torquay year round, and then runs larger group sessions and special paddle camps in the last few months leading up to the race.
For Melbourne bound competitors, last year's winner and Bass Strait conqueror Jarad Kohlar from Peak Adventure is also conducting weekly kayak training sessions at Sandridge Life Saving Club, whilst Tim Altman who is another very accomplished paddler with many national and international titles to his name is also running sessions around Melbourne and the Surf Coast. {Click here for more details}
