Welcome
to the TRAQ's Camp Mountain Trails Challenge, which incorporates
Queensland Athletics Queensland Mountain Running Championships and
the Junior Trails Challenge for the 8 – 15 year olds.
The
distances vary between 1 and 13.3km, are designed to suit different
ages and consist of well-constructed forestry trails.
The
13.3km course incorporates the Queensland Mountain Running
Championships for the 'Open' category, this distance aligns with the
Australian and World Mountain Running Championships distances.
Minimum age is 20 and the distance is not suitable for walkers; we
expect you to be able to run at least all of the flat and downhill
sections.
If
you fall into a Masters category (over 34) you can opt to run in the
13.3km Open race, but then you forgo the chance to medal in the 8.3km
Masters Championship Race.
The
8.3km includes the U20 and Masters Queensland Mountain Running
Championships, but it is also open to 20 - 34 year olds as a
non-championship run. This distance requires you to be at least 16
years old and is suitable for walkers; this distance should leave you
enough time to reach the finish line before darkness falls.
The
categories you are eligible for will automatically pop up for you
when you register. Please note again that if you fall in a 'Masters'
category you can opt to run in the Open category, which means that
you forego the chance to medal in your Masters category.
