Kedumba Half Marathon – Race 2 Short Course Series - 21km
We tout this as ’arguably the toughest half marathon in Australia’ and you should not be disappointed. This course is a brute. Runners start at the Old Queen Victoria Hospital at Wentworth Falls and will descend Kedumba Walls down to Kedumba Campground. Just to make sure all people are aware they are doing a trail race, we include a water crossing just prior to the turn. After 10.5km and approximately 700m of vertical quad bashing running, all runners will hit the turn and tackle the climb back to the hospital. This will sort the climbing prowess of all runners with a seemingly never ending climb back to the finish. Take the time to take in the views on this course. Runners will pass the historic Kedumba Ruins and should the weather behave, capture seldom seen views of the southern side of Mt. Solitary.
In addition this race will be part of the Sydney Strider Super Series, so an influx of city runners is expected. The team challenge will again be held with the best six times from Running Wild/BMMC -v- Striders members. At least one of the finishing times included must be a female runner.
