Race Details
CLICK HERE to head to our Strava Club to see the route!
5km race, from the River Extension Road (off Coal Creek), to the top of Castle Rocks, via Hyperventilation. Race finishes at the top, but you'll still need to get yourself back down - but that's the easy part and can be run at a leisurely pace!
Please note, there is no water or fuel on course or at the top! Despite being 5km, it's a tough climb, so please carry your provisions for the up...and the down! There will be water, electrolytes and snacks at the base.
PLEASE NOTE: Youth Runners aged 8-18yrs are allowed, however racers 12 and under must race with an adult. Please contact us to discuss possible exceptions to this rule.
