From time immemorial the story of the Port Macquarie region has been the story of three brothers. Dooragan, Mooragan, Booragan – three brothers mountains – and their mother, a mountain that watches from a distance. These mountains dominate the landscape and for teams that take on Mountain Designs GeoQuest 2024, they will take centre stage in the race.

GeoQuest has been to the Port Macquarie region before and it’s been exciting to open up the old maps and then explore area to see how the region has changed. The 2024 event will visit some familiar trails, and explore many new ones.

For the teams that are new to GeoQuest, you’re in for a real adventure, with everything returning teams talk about. For the full course we will start with an ocean kayak leg with a beach landing – so teams should be prepared to get wet and surf the shore break. We then head into the hills, and oh boy are they hills. Recently graded roads will make for great riding through the mountain bike trails and forestry with some solid climbs and a big decision to make with route choice. There’s even a mystery activity that support crews will enjoy being part of!

We’ve got a great lineup of teams and it’s great to see so many people racing Geo again – check out there team list here: www.geoquest.com.au/teams-entered. There’s a real mix of supported and unsupported teams so we’ll have some old school Geo vibes out there with big transitons and real community spirit.

The live tracking link is active so family and friends can follow the race live at live.trackmelive.com.au/geoquest24

Special thanks must of course go to our sponsors Mountain Designs, Port Macquarie, TrailBrew, Wild Magazine and Squirt – it’s very much appreciated. And of course to everyone who's entered – bring on an awesome weekend!!
