GNW ULTRA MARATHON PARTICIPATION WARNING
Despite its proximity to the populated Central Coast of New South Wales, the course passes through rugged and spectacular terrain and is a demanding challenge for all runners. Entrants need to cope with precipitous ascents and descents, muddy trails and creek crossings, slippery rocks and roots, and hard-to-follow trail. There are a number of sections where running is impossible.
IT IS EASY TO GET LOST OR INJURED ON THIS COURSE IF YOU DO NOT EXERCISE SUFFICIENT CARE AND/OR ARE ILL-PREPARED.
For the longer races (100M, 100K, 50M) there will be no marshals on the course and all runners will need to be capable navigators and prepared to travel at night in remote areas on difficult trail. They will also be required to carry certain equipment and must carry sufficient water to last them between checkpoints which can be up to 30 km apart. IT IS COMMON FOR RUNNERS TO WITHDRAW SUFFERING FROM DEHYDRATION.
GNW Trail Running Festival is grateful for the support of the following organisations
