Course Description

The Wahluu 1,000 takes place on the world‑famous Mount Panorama circuit, a 6.213 km paved track that winds up and down the mountain with sweeping views of the Bathurst countryside. Participants may choose to walk a single lap (≈6.2 km) or push themselves with the 10‑lap "63 Challenge" (≈62.1 km). The course features iconic corners, elevation changes and open‑air sections that showcase the region’s scenery. Start times run from 4:00 am, giving walkers and runners the flexibility to set their own pace while contributing to the collective 1,000 km goal. The event finishes with a community lap where everyone gathers together.
