Our Events
Our races take participants through the single and fire trails of Kowen Forest, located on the ACT/NSW border. The famous Kowen hill climbs are definitely worth it when you’re rewarded with spectacular views over Canberra. All proceeds from the event go to the Wamboin Rural Fire Brigade.
New Year’s Resolution Run
Kick start your year with a challenge you won’t forget. Choose between a half marathon on a mix of forestry trails and single track with spectacular views of Canberra, or a 12 km course with 8 km of continuous single track in the native forest. The half marathon course provides 680 metres of elevation, including an ascent of the formidable Mt Amungula, while the 12 km includes over 320 metres of climb.
