Who are the Aussie's to watch in the World's Toughest Race Eco-Challenge Fiji on Amazon Prime?

Team Gippsland Adventure is made up of experienced orienteers, runners, and adventure racers. They have been friends for years, but this is the first time they’ll all be racing together as one team.

Aaron Prince comes from adventure race royalty, and we should expect a lot from this team. He grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand, lives in Sweden, and his parents were some of the original adventure racers. This team shouldn’t get lost.

Competitors: Rob Preston (TC), Kathryn Preston, Tim Boote, Aaron Prince, Patrick Howlett (TAC)
