COURSE DESCRIPTION
PLEASE NOTE COURSE CHANGE FOR 2026
The 2026 course heads from the calm shores of Lake Macquarie over towards the ocean and back again – the perfect way to enjoy some of the amazing trails in this area.
After exiting Raffertys Resort and winding through Murrays Beach, you will emerge back on the lake shore for some flat easy running. Turning right and up the fire trail, you will soon cross Murrays Beach Rd and follow the fire trail up to the footbridge and your first visit to the aid station.
Following Scenic Drive towards Caves Beach and the ocean, you will be rewarded with views in both directions along spectacular coastline. Dropping down next to the ocean, along some rocky trails and across a small creek before you turn and head back towards the lake.
Keep an eye on course markings as numerous 4WD tracks enter from each side as you follow the fire trails back towards the highway.
The finish is near! A course chance in 2026 eliminates the dreaded Scenic Trail climb, instead you will follow the highway for a short distance back to Aid Station 1, cross back over the footbridge and follow the trails back to Raffertys Resort and your finish line on the shores of Lake Macquarie!
