Course Description
The Ox 24‑Hour Run takes place on a 4.2 km circuit that starts and finishes at Reflections Caravan Park in Lennox Head. Runners will complete one lap each hour for 24 hours, aiming to accumulate roughly 100 km. The route follows a mix of sealed roadways and park paths, offering views of the Pacific coastline, the historic lighthouse, and the lush hinterland of the Northern Rivers. Reflections Caravan Park serves as the central hub where participants gather each hour, creating a supportive community atmosphere. Whether you run solo or as part of a two‑person or four‑person team, the rolling tide of runners creates a unique camaraderie as the sun rises over the beach and sets over the hinterland.
