Event Details
Course Description
Set in the rugged beauty of Queensland's Scenic Rim, this trail running event takes you through the magnificent Mt Joyce Mountain Bike Trails near Wyaralong Dam. The courses wind through native forests, along single track paths with spectacular mountain views just an hour south of Brisbane. The 16km long course offers technical terrain with varied elevation, whilst the 10km short course provides a challenging introduction to trail running. The 5km introductory distance welcomes first-timers to experience the thrill of off-road running. All courses are fully marked with pink flags and marshalled at critical junctions. Expect natural obstacles including roots, rocks, and undulating trails that showcase some of Australia's finest trail running terrain. Walking and hiking are absolutely permitted on all courses.
