New running event to follow Royal National Park's iconic Coast Track

Media Release - Maximum Adventure / 25.06.2010

The Coastal Classic takes in 29.1km of premium trail running between Otford and Bundeena, traversing pristine, isolated beaches, stunning coastline and ancient rainforest.

The ‘Royal’ has long been popular with runners thanks to its great scenery and proximity to Sydney’s southern suburbs, but organiser Gary Farebrother says that this is the first major event in recent years to use the Coast Track.

“This is the first time in years that the Coast Track has been open to a running event of this kind, and we’re looking forward to a great event. The course offers a bit of everything: sand, hills, rainforest, beaches – and magnificent views to top it off”, he said.

As well as offering runners the chance to compete along the classic Coast Track, the event will raise funds for the Royal National Park to assist in their track maintenance.

Entries open on 1 July 2010 and are strictly limited to 300 participants.
