Three adventurers will summit the highest mountain in each Australian state in just ten days to set a new world record. Logistically challenging, physically gruelling and emotionally draining. During the expedition they’ll run over 150kms, ascend over 5,500m and travel over 13,000kms around the country in a race to take on Australia’s greatest and most remote peaks
Will they be up to the challenge? Will they make their connecting flights? Will they find a masseuse in Alice Springs?
This great southern land of Australia is full of wide-open spaces, packed with potential adventures and populated by people wanting to get out and explore. They just sometimes just need the inspiration to do so
To have an adventure, set a world record, inspire people to #GetOutdoors, produce a documentary for television and showcase Australia’s ‘National Landscapes’
