Terra Nova 24 2024 will be heading to Kioloa!

Terra Nova 24 has been designed to move it to a different location along the South Coast each year, but always within 2 and 3 hrs drive of Sydney and Canberra.

Kioloa, located on the southern end of the Shoalhaven region has been announced as the official start and finish location for the 2024 edition of the Terra Nova 24 Adventure Race.

Over 400 people including competitors, family and friends from around Australia and the Asia Pacific Region will attend the Terra Nova 24 24hr Adventure Race from 6-7 April 2023.

The race is held annually on the first weekend in April in the Shoalhaven region. The location of the course is moved each year to a different area to pose exciting new challenges for competitors.

This year’s location of choice, Kioloa, is just off the Princess Highway and around 2 hours south of Sydney.

Located half way between Ulladulla and Batemans bay, Kioloa is known, for its beautiful beaches, ocean front camping, family-friendly atmosphere and lookouts to spot migrating whales and other wildlife.

It's close to Murramarang National Park, and has stunning views of nearby Belowa Island which protects the beach from big swell, making it a great beach for fishing, families and kayaking. It has a small boat ramp at it's southern end and Butlers Creek and Butlers Headland at the northern end.

Chris Dixon, Wild & Co event director says,

“We’re very excited to be heading to Kioloa at the southern end of Shoalhaven, it's the perfect location to start and finish an Adventure Race. It gives us access to the ocean and some of the best trails the region has to offer.

We've got an exciting new course for Terra Nova in 2024 and can't wait to show off trails Terra Nova has never been to before. For something special, full course teams should be ready for an ocean kayak leg to start!”

Terra Nova 24 involves 24hrs of non-stop endurance racing in the major adventure racing disciplines of trekking, mountain biking and kayaking. Mixed gender, Male and Female teams of two or four must navigate their way through an arduous 120+km course that is only revealed to them the day of the race.

The "Terra Nova Half" runs simultaneously with Terra Nova and covers just over half the distance but teams have the full 24hrs to complete it. The legs will be challenging but with the additional time available to complete the half course, teams have a greater chance to reach the finish line before time is up.

Early Bird entries close 31 December 2023 and the final window for registration closes 4 April 2024. Accommodation can be booked through the Visit NSW website at: www.shoalhaven.com
