Kowen Trail Run - New Year's Resolution Run

Kowen Trail Run New Year's Resolution Run

The event offers two trail distances that start and finish at Wamboin Community Hall, 112 Bingley Way, Wamboin, NSW, on the third Sunday in January 2027. Runners follow an out and back section along Bingley Way (sealed bitumen) for about 1.3 km before entering Kowen Forest.

Available distances:

• 21.1 km half marathon on mostly dirt forestry trails with three single track sections totalling 2.5 km and approximately 680 metres of elevation, including an ascent of Mt Amungula.
• 12 km course featuring about 8 km of continuous single track through native forest and over 320 metres of climb.

All participants must carry mandatory safety gear and will undergo a gear check before number collection. Required items are a water container, a mobile phone with the race director number saved, and a snake bandage (compression bandage). Entrants without these items will not be allowed to start.

Cut off time for both distances is 4.5 hours.

Entry changes and refunds are managed while entries are open. Partial refunds are available with a $15 administration fee; no refunds are given after entries close. Transfers to another participant are allowed online while entries are open with a $10 fee. Entry cannot be transferred to a future Kowen Trail Run event. Changes to a longer distance require payment of the fee difference plus $10; changing to a shorter distance does not entitle to a refund.
