Our favourite event of the year five years running, stunning scenery and great atmosphere. – Angela, 2022 Competitor
What an incredible experience! Everything about the day made it special. It’s a very well organized event and the views are spectacular. It’s heaps of fun to share the trails with other runners and the vollies were super helpful and kind. What stood out most this year was the support from spectators. I felt overwhelmed at times with how so many complete strangers were full of encouragement, all helping me to run my best. Spurred on by their support, I managed to achieve my time goal and am still grinning from ear to ear – 4 days later! – 2021 Competitor
