If the forecast is for sunny we recommend you carry some water on the long course, although there are 5 water stops spaced on the long course. We will be going green this year, with disposable cups only at the first/last/far checkpoints, so we encourage runners to carry your own refillable container and/or water – it’s good practice for your training. If needed, review these tips on how to start running again.
Enjoy a different day out in the country and run or walk the trails beside Lake Manchester, just west of Mount Crosby. There are two options: a 6.5km run or walk beside the lake, or 22km adding upper Cabbage Tree Creek, creek crossings, and hills. All runs are on well-marked earth forestry trails. Prior to arriving, don’t forget to stretch those muscles used when running
