Trail runners finally had their chance to take on the Jabulani Challenge this past weekend!

Hundreds of enthusiastic participants were chomping at the bit on the start line to experience the waterside tracks and bushland trails unique to the Pittwater area north of Sydney at Bobbin Head. Well done to all runners, we hope you achieved your goals!

Runners were raving about the beauty of the trails as they utilised the Tailwind out on course and loved the picturesque finishing area at Bobbin Head. The natural beauty and technical nature of the trails sure made the sore legs worth it the next day.

The front of the field runners were rewarded with some terrific prizes from ThermaTech and Pure Running but the real winners on the day were all the runners that took on and conquered the course, whether they finished in 1 hour or in over 7 hours.

If you would still like to purchase one of the sweet event T-Shirts or Singlets please email [email protected].

Thank you to event sponsors ThermaTech and Pure Running who gave runners the opportunity to score a deal on running gear and accessories as well as to Tailwind Nutrition for providing the on course nutrition.

A big shout out to the large number of volunteers who helped us to run a smooth event for our participants. The red army was all along the course, cheering the runners on and really adding to the atmosphere at the event.
