Adventure Ju**ie Events is bringing Coastal Quest back to Victoria’s spectacular Surf Coast for its second edition.
Following a successful debut last year, 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 returns with a new weekend format shaped by competitor feedback.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Victoria’s Surf Coast, Coastal Quest offers the perfect opportunity to combine adventure with a weekend escape. Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, the region is renowned for its spectacular coastline, beautiful beaches and the wild trails of the Otways.
Whether it’s a team’s first adventure race or another opportunity to test themselves against the elements, Coastal Quest is about more than reaching the finish line. It’s about shared experiences, unexpected discoveries and the satisfaction of earning every kilometre.
With all kayaking equipment supplied and participant-friendly logistics in place, getting on the start line is simple: teams just need to drop off and collect their bikes, while the event team takes care of the rest.

On Saturday, teams launch into the open ocean at Lorne before (or after) navigating their way through the trails and wild landscapes of the Otways hinterland. On Sunday, the action moves to Anglesea, where teams paddle the sheltered river and explore a different side of the Surf Coast.
“The new weekend format offers something for everyone, from those looking for their first taste of adventure racing to experienced teams ready to take on the full two-day challenge. We can’t wait to bring everyone back to the Surf Coast for another unforgettable weekend,” said AJ team Maria and Serge
