All trails are found in the Mount Laura Reserve on the northern outskirts of Whyalla. We'll be running on a combination of unsealed 4-wheel drive roads and hand groomed single tracks. Since this is a shared use trail there will be mountain bike lumps and jumps to navigate along the way.
Distances to choose between will include 7km, 11.5km or 23km. The 23km distance consists of two loops of the 11.5km course. All intersections and turning points will be clearly marked with red arrows and reflective markers. The hidden disco dancing and refreshment station will be roughly at the 4.5k mark for the 7k course, at the 8k mark for the 11.5k course. The 23k runners will pass drink stations at 8k, 11.5k and again at 19.5k. The 11.5k loop will include roughly 215m of elevation gain (so 430m for the 23k). The 7k loop only has around 150m of climbing. NOTE: Course marked below is from 2023. The new 2024 course will be released closer to the date. |
