6ft Track - 11th March 2006

This is the epic 45km off road marathon from Katoomba to the Jenolan Caves along the path originally used by the first european explorers in the blue mountains. It is about 2m wide on average - hence the name! This is a really well organised and well supported race, with lots of excellent aid stations catered by the bush fire service! There are also some epic climbs, including the Pluviometer - 440m of height gain in 3.5km.
