Jabulani Challenge

Ku-Ring-Gai National Park, Sydney
Saturday 9th April 2016

Ahh, trail running, the joys of pitting yourself against the great outdoors, just you and a pair of shoes against the wilderness. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of flying along a trail, skipping over logs and rocks, flowing downhill like a stream, then attacking the uphills with gusto!

Now days there seems to be trail running events every weekend, so then the question is raised, which do we put our hard-earned cash into?

Well, we have the answer, the Jabulani Challenge!

Set in the weekend playground of thousands of locals in Ku-Ring-Gai National Park this is what trail running is all about. Consisting of a stunning course featuring some famous local trails like the Gibberagong and Warrimoo Track and running directly alongside the beautiful Cowan Creek and finishing at historically significant Bobbin Head this is where you want to be in early April.

Organised by the team that brings you the phenomenon that is the Coastal Classic, the residents from north of the harbour are getting to see what those from the southern suburbs have know for years. When it comes to putting on a trail running event close to Sydney but making you feel like you are miles from anywhere the team at Maximum Adventure know the score.

So not only will your entry fee get you a trail running event of the highest order you will also be contributing to a very worthy cause. The Stellenbosch Community Development Programme is a volunteer ran and founded organisation that is committed to helping young disadvantaged children in Africa. The Stellenbosch Community Development Programme is a direct beneficiary of the Jabulani Challenge which takes it’s name from the Zulu word for ‘Be Happy’ and that is something you will definitely be on the 9th of April at the Jabulani Challenge…HAPPY!
