Runners will run the main fire trail down to the St Ives Wildflower Gardens. They will enter the sealed road within the Wildflower Gardens, before running a loop of nice single trail following Muellers Trail around the gardens, winding in and out of trees, around rock formations and along creeks, before using the sealed road to join back to the fire trail to the Showground where they will finish.
Same as the short course except runners will do an extra loop of the Wilflower Gardens course.
The longer course for September will be 18km, within the Wildflower Area only due to National Parks limitations. This will scale back up to 24km plus the 30km in November as a good way to step up into the distance and give some variety.
The long course will have a 3hr 45min cut off in place at AS2 on Warrimoo Track at 18.7km. If you have not made cut off at this point, you will be driven back to the start / finish area.
The X-Long course will start with 3 anti-clockwise laps of the main arena at St Ives Showground. Runners will then follow the fire trail down into the Wildflower Gardens, where they will complete an anti-clockwise loop of the gardens starting at M2: heading down the sealed road, and entering the Mueller Track at Aid Station 1. The course will then re-join at M3 where runners will continue along the same route as the 24km course, completing some tough trails down to Bobbin Head Marina and along the Cowan Creek.
The extra long course will have a 4 hour cut off in place at AS2 on Warrimoo Track at 23.6km. If you have not made cut off at this point, you will be driven back to the start / finish area.
