Race Intro
A classic off-road coastal run connecting the township of Huskisson to the famous Murrays Beach in Booderee National Park. Winding along Jervis Bay and through Booderee National Park, we love this course for its constant changing landscapes and mini challenges throughout. Run on towering cliff lines with 180 degree ocean vistas, remote beaches, coastal woodlands and loads of rolling trails. Experience some punchy climbs, mixed with fast flowing sections. Perfect for a first ultra run or for more experienced runners, a chance to be aggressive and attack a fast remote trail.
