Wild Earth Coastal High Crunch
Registration closes in 9 days 7 hours-
The Crunch packs a punch, it has most of the challenging elements of the Coastal High 50; including an uphill start, the long descent to Numinbah, the iconic stairs to Apple Tree Park, the dive down to Little Nerang Creek and then the long ascent past Purlingbrook Falls to the race finish at Springbrook. But that’s not to say it isn’t spectacular; with a mix of terrain from the road start, the technical single track along the awe-inspiring Caves Circuit, the quad crunching descent through the gums to Numinbah Valley, the rainforest patches as you climb to Springbrook - this will not be the ‘easy’ option!
