The race
Set against the rugged backdrop of Glenbervie Forest, the event features a challenging course that showcases the region’s natural beauty. Participants navigate a 41km figure-eight loop that immerses them in diverse terrain, including rolling hills, dense native bush, and expansive logging roads, providing a rich running experience.
The event offers a range of ultra distances, catering to various levels of endurance and experience. Notably, the introduction of a 200-mile distance requires prior qualification, ensuring that participants are adequately prepared for the demanding conditions. The atmosphere is typically one of camaraderie and shared endurance, with runners often supported by local communities and volunteers throughout the course.
In addition to the ultra distances, a shorter 15km trail run is available, allowing for broader participation. The event fosters a sense of community, with many participants returning year after year, contributing to a tradition that celebrates both individual achievement and collective support.
