Wild&Co welcomes both youth teams and international competitors to our adventure races.

Developing the next generation of adventure racers and supporting teams travelling from overseas are both important parts of building a strong, inclusive adventure racing community.

Wild&Co Youth Initiative

Developing young adventure racers is vital to the future of the sport.

As parents of active teenagers and long-time adventure racers ourselves, we are passionate about creating clear, supported pathways for young people to progress into adventure racing. We know we’re not alone in this, and we actively encourage families and youth-focused teams to get involved.

To support this, a 25% youth discount is available at selected Wild&Co events.

Youth Discount – YOUTH25

The YOUTH25 discount code applies to two types of teams:

1. Youth Category Teams

  • All team members are over 18 years of age, and

  • The combined team age is:

    • 110 years or less for 4-person teams

    • 55 years or less for 2-person teams

2. Teams with Juniors

  • One or more team members aged 14–17 years, racing with an experienced parent or guardian

  • Teams with juniors may compete in:

    • 24-hour events, or

    • Half-course categories of 48-hour events

The discount code is entered at the ticketing screen during event entry.

International Teams

Racing in a foreign country can be a challenge in itself — and it’s also a great part of the adventure.

Each year, Wild&Co welcomes international teams to Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS) Oceania events. Organisers aim to make these races as international-competitor friendly as possible, with logistics designed to reduce complexity for teams travelling from overseas.

  • Course logistics and equipment transport organised by race officials

  • 4 team members – GLOBAL15

  • 3 team members – GLOBAL11.25
