What is the Apex Challenge?

There's nothing else quite like the Apex Challenge

It’s three days full of adventure. It’s a tough weekend of exciting challenges.

The harder teams compete, the better chance they would have of leaving with the honour of being named Apex Challenge champions.

After 20 years of epic adventures, the Apex Challenge held its final event in 2022.

Every Apex is different

The Apex Challenge events were held in a variety of locations. Each one provided different opportunities for more challenging tasks. The events test speed, agility and teamwork.

Teams would use their skills to navigate around a large area, using a map to find and complete activities to earn points and climb the leaderboard.
