The Final Trek

Media Release - XPD / 24.05.2010

So what can they expect?

The first 6kms is straight forward along a flatish fire road. This is followed by about 9kms of slogging up a wide fire trail to get to the top of the range.

The teams climb 400 metres in elevation here. Next it gets tricky. The fire road marked on their map is actually quite overgrown and hard to pick. The route is taped, but is easy to loose. This goes for about 10kms.

The next section involves a stunning climb up a walking track to an incredible look out over Cairns at Kalphalim Rock. The trial is distinct but involves some steep climbs. Next comes the crux, a 5km cross country section through the rain forest.

Teams have been warned to stay high or risk never being found again. Finally teams descend down a walking trail to Crystal Cascades and make their way through the back blocks of Cairns to the esplanade and finish line in the Rydges Bar Pool.

A lounge and crowd will be waiting for them.See All Event Posts
