Course Description

The Ox course is a 4.2 km loop that repeats every hour for 24 hours. The loop weaves through Lennox Head’s coastal streets, beachside paths and local parkland, offering fresh ocean breezes and scenic views of the Northern Rivers coastline. Runners set their own pace, completing each lap within the hour before heading out again, or tagging a teammate in a team format. The repetitive nature tests endurance and strategy, while the surrounding scenery provides motivation throughout the overnight challenge.
