Media Release - XPD Information Nights Australia and New Zealand - 7 May 09

If you’ve ever considered entering XPD (www.xpd.com.au), Australia’s own expedition length adventure race, come and find out more at one of the Information nights to be held in Australia and New Zealand over May, June and July. The 5th edition of XPD will bring up to 200 Australian and international athletes to Cairns from 17-28 May 2010 to complete 700km of adventure racing in the disciplines of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and roping.

Come and be inspired to undertake this expedition of a lifetime. You will get a behind the scenes look at film taken by Justin Francis of team Area51 as they raced through the last two XPDs. Previous competitors are also invited and you may like to chat with them to hear their experiences.

XPD is proudly supported by Macpac, the new home of adventure. The information nights will be held at Macpac stores at 6pm on the dates below.
