This will be the 6^th Icebreaker Multisport Challenge set in the beautiful Lake Trevallyn Nature Reserve, just a mere 5 minutes from Launceston’s central business district.

The event will kick off with the 9 km kayak race across Lake Trevallyn, the first of the 3 disciplines to be tackled by competitors. Then it is a short but challenging run from the lakes edge to a transition zone, where the competitors then take on the 18 km mountain bike ride through the local bushland. Once completed they will be back at the transition zone and ready to run the strenuous 8.5 km trail run, along the edge of the lake and back through the bush tracks to finally complete the challenge. The Icebreaker Challenge will be made up of individual contestants and teams of 2 or 3.

Other activities of the day include a children’s Adventure Race and an expo of food and multisport products.
