WIth thanks to Gold Coast Trail Runners and Council's Active & Healthy program, will be hosting a monthly trail run - and for December, we will be going up; up to Hellfire Pass! We mix things up with our monthly runs and this will be one of our harder 'runs' - there will actually be more hike than run - but the views are worth it and the skills of ascending and descending are important to practice!

We will meet at the Belliss Road car park at Mount Nathan/Clagiraba and after an undulating opening, it's a largely uphill section that is rewarded with some stunning GC Hinterland views! We'll have an option just to tackle Hellfire (approx 7.5km-ish return) and a longer run that also includes Freeman's Lookout (12km-ish return) with a lonmg descent sure to test the quads and skills!
The run is free, and yes, there will be snacks! Please register to help us cater!
Our planned schedule (events confirmed 6-8 weeks prior) for 2026-27 is:
