2025 Team Launch Team 1 – AUSTRALIA

 

Introducing TEAM 1 – AUSTRALIA

You’ve seen them before. With a strong adventure racing and endurance background, this team has proven their grit, making it to the Landsort Lighthouse for the last three years, a feat no other team has accomplished. But they’re far from done!
“We will use our experience in ultra-endurance events to balance speed and navigation, ensuring we reach the lighthouse as fast as possible. Rob’s exceptional navigation skills will be complemented by Elizabeth’s all-around physical strengths, along with Glenn’s swimming prowess, which will allow us to keep moving fast and in the right direction. Combine this with Julian’s exceptional organisational and tactical knowledge, and with our team’s experience, our goal is to be unbeatable.”

 

 

OWR has a unique aura about it. I would love to return to OWR yet again to push our limits and be at one with Nature in the Archipelago.
