The Gold Rush Trail Marathon boasts of being one of the most scenic marathons any adventurer could hope to tackle as it heads off into the heart of Australia’s wettest rainforest and traverses the saddle between Queensland’s two highest peaks in May. An out and back course over the historic Goldfields Trail, some say crossing the lovely East Mulgrave River without stopping for a dip in one of the North’s best swimming holes is a tremendous challenge in itself. Starting and finishing at the popular Babinda Boulders Swimming Hole, the Gold Rush Trail Marathon is quite possibly the toughest yet most enjoyable running event you will ever experience. - part of the Adventure Sport NQ series Entry Fee( AUD ) 15See All Event Posts
