Call for Volunteers!

An event like the Three Bridges Run needs a lot of volunteers to help make the event happen. Manning the aid stations, helping at registration and marshalling out on course and more! If you aren’t planning on running on event day but are available to assist as a volunteer we would love to have your help!

As an added bonus we are offering all volunteers a FREE MAX ADVENTURE RACE ENTRY.  This can be used for the Three Bridges Run in 2024 or any of our other running events like the Coastal Classic, Jabulani Challenge, Bouddi Coastal Run or Raffertys Coastal Run, the Convict 100 mountain bike event or as your part of an entry into the Max Adventure Race series of events.

Coastal Classic Race Wrap Up

Saturday 3rd September, 2023
Royal National Park, NSW

Wow what a race day! Congratulations to every single runner who took on Coastal Classic 2023! This was the 14th year of the Coastal Classic, what an incredible journey from start to finish.

Mother Nature was on our side this year, blessing us with a glorious, sunny day setting the scene for an unforgettable coastal trail run. It was a striking departure from last year’s event, but that’s trail running for you – endlessly unpredictable and we love it!

Congratulations to all our category champs! In the men’s division, Mark Langley clocked in at a seriously fast 02:11:40 to secure the top spot, followed closely by Michael Lough at 02:14:34 in second place, and Kris McCullough rounding out the podium at 02:15:25 On the women’s front, Sara Levett crushed it with a time of 02:33:10 to claim #1, Alice Raban secured second place with a time of 02:35:11, and Jessica Cannings rounded off the female podium at 02:40:19. Check out the full results online HERE.

Congrats also to the legends of the Coastal Classic – the ones who’ve completed the race for 10+ years! We call ’em the “Coastal Classic Conquerors” because, well, they’ve pretty much tamed the beast. So, here’s to the folks who’ve been making our event a part of their lives for 10+ years – you’re all rockstars in our book!

As we bid adieu to this year’s Coastal Classic, we can’t help but look forward to the future. Mark your calendars for the next instalment of the Coastal Classic, set to take place Sat 7th Sep 2024. We can’t wait to see you all again for another epic coastal adventure.
