Subject: Find a team for 48hr race
Message: 36 years old, Fit and keen, Finished 2023 & 2025 c2c 2 day individual, completed a few ultras and other endurance races. Been riding bmx and mountain bikes my whole life, riding every week. Wouldn’t be at the top end of things but would love to take part and disappear into the back country for a while. Thanks

Subject: Seeking 2 Teammates for 48-Hour event
Message: Team of two (female + male) are looking for two teammates to join a 48-hour adventure.
We’re not chasing podiums, just staying steady and determined to complete the race strong.
Foot pace will be fast hiking (not running), with a focus on smart transitions and teamwork.
We’ve got solid experience with multiple overnight wilderness navigations events, so nav support is welcome but not essential.
Ideal teammates: experience in transitions in overnight multisport, adventurer races.
No age preference — just bring a sense of adventure.
Gear needed:
- Your own bikes
- Ability to hire or buy a double packraft (for the two joining)
- Other individual mandatory kit
Let’s move with purpose, support each other and enjoy being out there.

Teammate and I are really keen to do true west next year just battling the usual logistics etc. atm we will have to enter the 24 hr 2 person team (non paddle / non competitive option) would there be an option to upgrade either to 4 person paddle option if can make a team up between now and then or do the 24 hr option with packraft as 2 p team (knowing we will be non-competitive but really want to do the raft section)
We have 1 x packraft and doing a course in Murchison with kayak school next month to upskill further.
