13.2km - 07:00am

At the finish you will receive something sweet and something cold.
Prizes:
To be announced.
In 2026 we are going to sent one of our runners off to the Papatowai Challenge in Otago, New Zealand. This will include a free entry to the event on Saturday, 21 February 2026, plus accommodation (2 pax) for the weekend of the event. We are liaising with our current and future sponsors to contribute to the airfare and additional expenses. We will draw this prize from the entries of all three 2025 events.
This is made possible by our new partner - Sport Otago.

ABOUT US
We are runners and local residents from Coombabah, and we spend a lot of time running/biking in the Coombabah Lake Conservation Area (CLCA).
Coombabah wetlands is part of the internationally significant Southern Moreton Bay Marine Park and is registered in the Ramsar Convention on wetlands of international importance.
To keep the experience as pristine as possible, we endeavour to limit the entries, and keep the numbers as small and personal as possible.
We love animals, and in future events we would like to partner up and support local animal welfare organisations.
