Get Moving and Start Bonding With Outdoor Team Building Adventures
A large percentage of working Australians spend most of their days seated and staring at a screen, which can come with long term consequences. More workplaces are now looking for unorthodox and fun ways to encourage movement and improve team dynamics at the same time. Our range of outdoor group activities helps you do exactly that, giving your team the chance to connect, reset, and enjoy time outside together.
There have been many versions of team building over the years. At Great Race, we built our approach on the belief that outdoor activities for groups do not need to feel predictable or repetitive. Wholesome, enjoyable, and a little bit adventurous, our experiences are designed to bring together fun and efficiency in a way that genuinely lifts people. Since then, we have seen incredible results across workplaces of all kinds.
The rising focus on health and wellbeing in recent years has only highlighted the importance of getting outside and moving more. With our selection of outdoor games and challenges, there is something motivating and enjoyable for everyone. All of our activities are friendly for all fitness levels, so no one needs to worry about being super sporty to join in.
With over ten years of experience hosting group outdoor activities for adults, we have built a huge selection of engaging, uplifting and memorable outdoor team building options that help teams feel more connected and more energised.
Our Outdoor Activities
Outdoor Activities That Balance Fun and Function
Our outdoor team building activities are suitable for all ages and physical abilities. We place the emphasis on the fun in functional, and our catalogue of outdoor challenges is designed to encourage camaraderie, creativity, and a bit of healthy movement.
None of our activities rely on physical strength. Instead, they focus on creativity, problem solving, communication, and teamwork. The only physical element in an Amazing Race style event is some moderate walking, and of course you are welcome to run if you feel enthusiastic. Being outdoors and soaking up some sunshine with colleagues is one of the best ways to encourage cohesiveness and energy.
Outdoor Experiences for Every Group Size
Our outdoor activities for groups are built to support teamwork, communication, planning, and overall morale. Most importantly, they are designed to be fun and accessible for everyone.
We welcome teams of all sizes, from smaller groups to large scale company events. Our team is experienced and adaptable, making sure you always get a satisfying and enjoyable experience. A boosted sense of team benefits every workplace, and a few well chosen outdoor group activities can play a big part in lifting the mood and motivation of your team.
We also love mixing and matching different challenges to suit your preferences. If you want something a little different or tailored to your goals, we are always excited to help bring that to life.
Personal Growth
The team building events we have on offer seek to flush out the bravery and fearlessness that’s often hiding in all of us.
Learning from Mistakes
It’s about backing yourself and being in an environment where you are allowed to fail (because we all do sometimes).
Share Victory, Share Defeat
The real endgame is in how a group deals with failure, together.
Why Outdoor Team Building Games Make a Real Difference
Outdoor team building games give your team a chance to reenergise and interact in a different context to the daily work environment. Whether you are a small office or a larger team, our range of outdoor group activities is designed to shake things up and create a positive shared experience.
We take fun seriously and know the benefits it brings. Getting people away from their screens, out of their seats, and into a shared outdoor activity can lift morale, spark new connections, and help strengthen relationships across the team. With the added element of competition, you are guaranteed an experience that puts a smile on everyone’s face and brings a spark of excitement to the day.
Why brands, teams, friends, and family can’t get enough of Great Race!
We had an absolute blast from start to finish. The session was packed with fast-paced minigames, fun trivia rounds, and plenty of laughs that encouraged everyone to sometimes step outside their comfort zones in the best way possible. What stood out most was how inclusive and engaging the experience was – people of all personalities got involved and genuinely had a great time.

Just wanted to personally thank you for the session you and your team provided at the U@UNSW conference. It really met all our boxes and aligned with my debrief. Its especially refreshing to partner with an organisation who just get it without the need for micro-management. So… THANK YOU. I look forward to working with you guys again in the future.

Overall it was a perfect team day and all members of my team certainly enjoyed being out of the office and making their way around the city! Discovering new spots that they had not encountered previously, i.e. a couple of landmark around The Rocks. On behalf of everyone in the team, I would like to say Thank You very much for facilitating such a great day out for us… Cheers!

All the teams had SO much fun! We got some great feedback saying how much everyone enjoyed their day! The boys did an awesome job, and we’ll definitely be recommending you to others. Hopefully we can do a round two one day! Thanks for such a great day!

Our group absolutely enjoyed every part of the race. We experienced so much laughter, joy, banter and competitiveness. The fact that all of the challenges involved everyone, made it enjoyable. Our host Sam was THE BEST!!! She made the race exciting and made us all laugh especially at prize giving!! It’s been three days since the race and everyone’s still talking about it and are already talking about a rematch.
