After the amazing success of the first XPD, staged in the great
Australian outback in August 2004, Geocentric Adventure Racing are
excited to announce the 2nd Edition of XPD.

This international competitor friendly race will take competitors to
the the "End of the World", deep into the rugged wilderness of
Tasmania. Teams of four will battle the elements and terrain for up
to 10 days of world class expedition adventure racing. The event
will be staged from February 20th to March 3rd 2006.

"We all agree that XPD was the best long race that we have done. It
felt like a real expedition with remote terrain and lots of
unexpected challenges in the course and weather. We will now need to
update our favourite race in our profiles!" Team AROC Mountain
Designs talk about XPD Edition 1

XPD is Australia's own expedition length adventure race. It will see
Australian and international teams navigating their way through
650+kms in the disciplines of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking
(kayaks provided)and roping. XPD is open to mixed, all male or all
female teams of four. Teams race 24 hours per day, sleeping when
they choose, and team members must stay together for the entire
time. The course is only revealed the day before the start. In the
spirit of a true expedition, teams will be unsupported with their
equipment, pre-packed in plastic trunks, being moved to various
points on the course by the race organisers. Adventurers will have
up to 10 days to complete the expedition with no mid-race cut offs.
XPD will be challenging for first time racers and experienced teams
alike.
