Written course description:

The main race starts at 9:30 am at 225 Johnsons Road, Yolla. Nominated time race starts at 9am. Kingsley Coffee will be on site to satisfy all you hot drink needs. 

The race is a loop course covering approximately 8.5 km in a generally clockwise direction. The course covers a combination of farm road, gravel road, paddock, and mountain bike track. 

The start/transition/finish chute starts near the sheds behind the house on the property.  Runners then turn left from the year and then another left onto the 600 out and 600 back section of the course. Follow the course marking down the farm road until eventually it runs up into a paddock. Follow the pink ribbon course marking through a couple of grass paddocks and then around the perimeter of a recently cropped area sticking to the grass around the outside. From there the course runs approximately 400 m up a rough gravel road before re-entering back into farmland. From here it’s a short paddock run before entering the mountain bike track area. Follow the pink ribbon around the mountain bike track. While on the track DO NOT jump over to any other nearby tracks or duck under/over or around the black & yellow barrier tape; there are multiple tracks in this area and deviating from the pink ribbon course will cause runners to go off course very quickly. 

After running the mountain bike track loop you’ll emerge back into farmland close to where you entered the bike track. Turning left, follow the pink ribbon, you’ll find a very fast section of the run across and down grass paddocks until entering another farm road. The run continues fast along the farm track until you hit the finishing hill of doom! Then through the stock yards and to the start / finish/ transition!  

The whole course is marked with pink ribbon and orange arrows will be placed at key locations to guide runners around.

Runners are responsible for their own safety. Please consider the course and weather conditions and prepare yourself accordingly by wearing appropriate footwear and clothing. 

Runners must follow the pink ribbon marked course at all times.  Black and yellow tape designates no go areas.  

Portaloo facilities will be provided in the shed area for participants and volunteers. 

Runners are reminded that they are running on a private property. Areas outside of the marked course and transition area are out of bounds. The shared route file does not permit runners to access to the course outside of the designated race period without permission from the landowner.
