Beerwah at Daybreak

Beerwah@Daybreak is staged at the base of Mt Beerwah in the Glass House Mountains National Park. The event follows trails around the base of Mt Beerwah, a peak known by local indigenous tribes as the pregnant mother of the Glass House Mountains. The terrain is described as demanding and conditions can be unpredictable.

The event offers multiple distances:

• Marathon two laps of the half marathon course, elevation gain 1172 m
• Half Marathon elevation gain 586 m
• 10 km elevation gain 294 m

The course is marked with reflective orange and silver flagging tape, with directional red arrows at intersections and red crosses indicating routes that are not part of the course. The route may change due to bush fires, flooding or harvesting; competitors must follow race day course markings.

Mandatory items include a visible race bib, water bottle or hydration pack with minimum 500 ml capacity and a compression bandage. A headlight or suitable torch is required for the marathon. Drop bags are permitted for marathon participants and can be accessed after each lap.

Refunds are available until 10 November subject to a A$30 administration fee. No entries are available on the day. All finishers receive an event memento.
