MULTIPLE RUNNING DISTANCES
On offer are three trail running course distances – 12km, 22km and 36km to accommodate runners/walkers of all abilities. Starting and finishing at Raffertys Resort, the trail snakes through the Wallarah National Park taking in the sites of beautiful Lake Macquarie and the stunning coastline of historic Catherine Hill Bay and the Munmorah State Conservation Area. The terrain is varied – bushland single track, fire trail, coastal tracks, rock platforms and beach running all feature to challenge and excite the most discerning of trail runners.
The 36km Raffertys course rivals the challenge and sheer beauty of the Coastal Classic. Running along these trails feels like you are on a remote coastline, it is simply spectacular. When the word gets out, I’m expecting this event to match the popularity of the Coastal Classic, it has all the elements of being a truly iconic trail run
