XO Races » A New Format in Adventure Racing

Welcome to XO Races

XO Races are intimate events designed to challenge entrants physically and mentally; encouraging teamwork, strategy and exploration. We won’t ask you to take 2 weeks away from life, part with huge sums of cash or have built your own canoe out of quinoa; this is accessible and achievable adventure.

How Do XO Races Work?

Each XO Race is hosted from a Basecamp, with a start time not earlier than 6.30pm and a finish time (including post-race drink and presentations) not later than 10.30pm.

Out on course, there is no specified route; you can choose how you plot your way around the city, the objective is to collect as many points as possible by using the XO app to scan the checkpoint’s QR code.

Our events are for teams of two people and combine physical fitness with problem solving and teamwork. As long as you’re both over 18 years old, you’re welcome at an XO Race – and you don’t need to be an Olympic Athlete!
