Saturday 22 June 12.30pm: 21.1km Bega Peanuts Forest Trail
Saturday 22 June 1.30pm: 11.1km Bega Peanuts Forest Trail
Two great choices Saturday afternoon, but it’s one or the other - not both!
The start point is on the rail trial behind Wondai Town Hall. This is the same start point for all our events. The trail runs through the picturesque McEuen forest, which is adjoining Wondai township.
This cross-country course is an undulating forest trail through beautiful towering Spotted Gum and Wattle woodland. We will have a sweeper to ensure everyone’s home safe!
Sunday 23 June 6:30am: the Marathon
Sunday 23 June 7:00am: the half Marathon
Sunday 23 June 7:30am: the 10km rail trail run
Sunday 23 June 7:45am: the 5km rail trail run (new this year)
Both the 10km and 5km runs will take place on the pristine South Burnett Rail Trail.
Our South Burnett rail trail has gentle gradients and a smooth bitumen surface - it’s fantastic for runners. The runs will be an out and back course on the rail trail.
