for those who havent done this one before it is a fantastic race.
nice run thru nerang state forest then along the road and a 'little' climb up to the tv tower.
triple booked for the weekend so cant make it im afraid.

I will be watching this thread with interest and would love to hear some race reports as my little family of 3 are looking to move up to this area of the gold coast hinterland.

If you are a coolrunner who lives and runs in this area i would love to hear about this race and generally other good places to run (especially off road/trail).

Best of luck in the ultra and also 25km to everyone !!!

When are close of entries for the ultra Ian?

AB

According to the race info close of entries are Friday 18th May. I think one year I entered on the day but rung Ian a few days before. Certainly a tough run.

Last year i emailed Ian to let him know that i would decide in the week leading up to the race (to see how i recovered from GH50mile) and he was ok with that. I get the impression late entries with some contact beforehand are ok, but probabyl best to check.

Looking back i enjoyed this run last year, though for the first 18km i didn't want to be there (too soon after GH i think). The forest is pretty to run through and the views at the top of the "hill" are worth the climb. Its tough but rewarding, and certainly a great way to trash the legs!

Sadly i won't be there this year - doubled booked for a trip to sydney!

for those thinking about Kokoda - this is definitely worth a go

If anyone can give me a lift from Brisbane, please call me on 0400 782 972. I can scoot to your start point and pay a petrol donation - I just don't feature scootin' that far to the coast and will otherwise be hiring a car.

Sorry guys...I haven't had time to be reading the thread.

I'll take late entries right up to start time, but by email/fax today would be good please.

At this stage we have 320 entries....most for the Mini Kokoda 25km forest loop.

Cheers

Ian
