The Six Foot Track is a 45km footpath stretching across the Blue Mountains from The Explorer's Marked Tree, near Katoomba to Jenolan Caves. The marathon started in 1984 and follows the length of the entire footpath. It is Australia's 5th largest marathon and by far the largest 100% off-road running event. The race is a fundraiser for the Rural Fire Service & Six Foot Track Heritage Trust. The race is organised by the Sydney Striders Running Club and is the Australian National Trail Ultramarathon Championship and attracts over 850 entrants each year. (more)
Future race dates: Saturday 9th March 2013, Saturday 8th March 2014
