Six Foot Track Marathon
Katoomba, Australia • 6 Sep 2025
Six Foot Track Marathon is a 45-kilometre trail race across the Blue Mountains, running from the Explorer’s Marked Tree near Katoomba to the Jenolan Caves. First held in 1984, the course follows the entire Six Foot Track. The event is not-for-profit, with profits donated to the Blue Mountains Rural Fire Service, whose volunteer firefighters staff the aid stations on race day.
Each year, roughly 1,100 entrants complete the course. Participation is via a lottery system; lottery registration is free, there is no waitlist, and winners must confirm and pay to secure their entry. The race draws a rugged, scenic mountain environment and strong community support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
