Course, distances and logistics
- 21.3 km one-way crossing (designated start to finish)
- 42.195 km marathon option (double crossing; starts about 400 metres into the forest)
- Back-to-back option: Saturday 21.3 km and Sunday 21.3 km
The one-way distance was measured by a steel wheel. The course is class 4 track under Australian standards: distinct tracks with exposed roots and rocks, variable width, muddy sections, steep grades, possible overgrowth and creek crossings. The route is marked with green arrows for direction and red crosses at junctions not to be used; participants should stay on the Border Track. Water is provided only at the Binna Burra end, the Green Mountain end, and at the marathon turnaround; there are no formal drink stops between these points. Runners must carry their own fluids and bring a cup. Race headquarters and bib collection are at the Binna Burra campsite tent and at the Canungra race briefing. Shared bunkhouse accommodation is available as a paid add-on. Sweepers will follow the course carrying basic first aid. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
