Between November 5-10 2006, 12 teams of four people challenged themselves to run, kayak and cycle almost 600kms around Tasmania, covering some for the most inhospitable yet beautiful terrain in the world.
Corporate companies such as Foster's, Telstra, RBS, DWS and Cadbury, and celebrities from both England and Australia raced alongside experienced adventure racers and novices alike. Although it was a gruelling physical and mental experience, we are pleased to report that all participants made it to the finish – well done!
Whether it was for a personal challenge, a company exercise or a physical experience, all of those involved did it to support two Australian children's charities (TLC for Kids, and the Cancer Council Tasmania's Cancer Plus Programme) and the Tasmanian Devil Appeal, through the Mark Webber Challenge Foundation.
The final 2006 donations tally was over half a million Australian dollars – a fantastic effort! A huge thank you to those of you that contributed.
