Questars Adventure Races

Questars is a UK adventure racing brand that organises outdoor events combining trail running, mountain biking and, at selected summer races, kayaking. Established in 2001, it presents its events as accessible to complete beginners as well as experienced racers, offering opportunities to explore scenic landscapes, develop navigation skills and take on a personal or competitive challenge. Participants travel between checkpoints on varied courses, with event formats designed to make each race an engaging day outdoors.

Questars runs seasonal series and individual events across locations including the Long Mynd, Wiltshire, the Surrey Hills, the Chilterns, the Peak District and the Cotswolds. Its programme includes winter run-and-bike races and summer events that may add kayaking, as well as longer challenges such as the 25-hour Long Mynd anniversary event. The organisation provides practical information for entrants, including race-format guidance, kit lists and details of what is included in an entry. It also shares event results, photographs, news and reports, and supports a community of participants through its events and online channels.
