Coastal Classic Entries Selling Fast

Saturday 3rd September, 2022
Royal National Park, Sydney NSW

Keen trail runners wishing to register for this years Coastal Classic – don’t delay, entries are already 50% SOLD OUT!

Don’t miss your chance to experience this popular trail run from Otford to Bundeena in Sydney, through the Royal National Park. With 30km of trail running along some of the most spectacular coastline in Australia, if not the world, it’s easy to see why this trail run is so popular.

Starting at Otford after a short climb the view appear, stretching South all the way to Wollongong and beyond, and this is only the start. The toughest part of the course is early on, the tracks through the Palm Jungle are narrow and runners need to watch their footing but you soon emerge out into the sunshine. Runners then are right alongside the ocean, skirting numerous beaches and inlets and passing through quiet hamlets of beach shacks. After the Aid Station at Garie Beach the views ramp up even more as runners head along the broad walk on the clifftops to Wattamolla Aid Station. Now is to time to up the speed and stretch out, across Marley Beach and the last two Aid Stations. The infamous Sandy Track awaits for the last couple of kilometres but the end is right there. A quick blast through Bundeena and the finish line hits. Sounds good doesn’t it?

Entries will sell out for this event so do not delay if you don’t want to miss out!

We will also offer a kids course option on Sunday – so you can bring the whole family to this event!  The Kids Course will involve trail running and mountain biking (no kayaking) with some simple navigation. The course will be marked with arrows to help guide our young adventurers to the checkpoints – however keeping in the spirit of Adventure Racing some map reading is required. Parent/Guardians are encouraged to join their kids on the course to help. Teams of two to five kids, with an adult along for the fun if all participants are under 12 years of age.  More information about the kids course can be found HERE.

The flat and fast course sets the scene for some exciting racing, and no big hills to climb! Located just off the Bruce Highway the event is easily accessible for local racers or those from Brisbane and further south.
