THE COURSE.
This training run will be based on the UTA22. The course on the day will be dependant on NPWS and Council restrictions. At the moment most of this course is open and more trails are opening up every week. Extra km will be available for those wanting extra distance/time running. The course will include Cliff Drive, Narrow Neck, Landslide, Furber Stairs, Federal Pass, Leura Forst, Leura Stairs, Fern Bower and Echo Point. For those wanting more distance and UTA stairs we'll have plenty of options to add those in on this course. This run is also suitable for UTA11 runners. They leave the run with a nice stair finish up Furber Steps.
