In development
A public application or lottery with a limited invited elite component is being considered. No athlete places are currently available or confirmed.
Responsible development
The vision must earn the right to become real.
Venue and land use
No host property is being represented as confirmed. The event concept will be adapted to the selected property and applicable land-management framework.
Environmental planning
Course design, participant capacity, waste, restoration, wildlife considerations and seasonal access will be developed through the appropriate review process.
Safety and operations
Medical planning, emergency access, communications, weather protocols and overnight operations will be built with qualified partners before registration opens.

Ground coverage and drone capture are aspirations, not entitlements. All production will follow venue, regulatory and permit requirements.
