Questars Adventure Races

Looking for an exciting day packed with adventure? Questars Adventure Races combine trail running, mountain biking and kayaking in some of the UK’s most stunning locations.

Our race format has been carefully designed to be as flexible and inclusive as possible, to challenge everyone irrespective of ability or experience.

For all events, you will use a map and compass to navigate to as many checkpoints as you can within the time limit. There are no set distances for any of the disciplines, you are in control of how far you run, bike and kayak. 

Each year, we run a Summer Series and a Winter Series, the main difference between the two is that there is no kayaking at our winter events. Our Summer Series runs from March to September and our Winter Series runs from November to February.

Bike hire is available at all of our events and we provide all of the kayaking equipment. All you need is a pair of running shoes and a sense of adventure to join in!
