The Cross Country 25km is a point to point trail run from Twin Hills View Lookout to Tewantin State School.
Access to the start area will only be accessed by a 30 minute courtesy bus ride from Tewantin State School to the lookout area. There will be no vehicle access along Black Pinch Road with the exception of local residents and courtesy buses.
The course starts from one of the best vistas in Noosa with 180 degree views across Lake Cootharaba and Lake Cooroibah in the east to Mount Cooroora and Mount Pinbarren in the West.
Whilst the word ‘fast’ is rarely used in trail running vernacular this is a ‘fast course’ worthy of a PB and perfectly suited for half marathon road runners as well as multi sport athletes wanting to feel the dirt under their soles!
With its ‘achievable’ distance and kilometres of smooth surfaces to be run on this is slated to be the most popular and enjoyable events for runners of all types on the Noosa Ultra-Trail® schedule!
