Sri Chinmoy Canberra Trail 100

The Sri Chinmoy Canberra Trail 100 is a 100 km trail running event held in and around central Canberra. The course forms a wide loop that starts and finishes at Rond Terrace beside Lake Burley Griffin and passes through nature reserves, urban parks and open spaces.

The route travels across many of Canberra’s well-known natural features, including Parliament House surrounds, Red Hill, Mt Taylor, Black Mountain, Stromlo Forest Park, the National Arboretum, Mt Majura and Mt Ainslie. The full course is waymarked and supplemented by electronic chip timing and published results.

Entries may be entered as a solo 100 km effort or as a relay team of two to four runners. Relay transition compounds are located at specific points on the course and each transition has full aid-station supplies. Additional aid stations are placed approximately every 10 km along the route. Solo runners must carry mandatory safety equipment for the whole event, including a mobile phone and a minimum personal supply of drink; headlamps and a helper or companion are required for late-stage running in low light. Use of listening devices is not permitted.

Course management emphasises safety and public access: runners must give way to traffic at road crossings, close gates behind them when needed and show courtesy to other park users, including horses. There are designated cut-off times and procedures for withdrawals, and trained sports medicine personnel attend the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
