The loop course for our Sturt Gorge Trail Run is constantly undulating, and over bumpy and challenging paths. It goes through the picturesque and rugged surroundings of Sturt Gorge Recreation Park and Blackwood Hill Reserve.

This is a low cost, no frills event. For only $10 entry fee, you are assured of a good race – or leisurely run – in beautiful surroundings.

Adequate signs will be put up, but there will not be any course marshals. Refreshments will consist of water at the start/finish and at one drink stop. There will be no electronic timing, so there may be some delay in posting the results on the web. However, place getters will be announced immediately after the end of the event (by 9:45am), and it should be possible to make provisional results available for everyone by that time.

In character, this will be like the cross country courses that were once commonly held around Adelaide – in the days when cross country really meant cross country!

Entries close at 1pm on Friday 22 March.

All race bibs will be available for collection at the race start.
