A few events have offered discounts to entrants on the 6FT  list when it was canceled so probably good idea to start a separate thread. Respective RD's can add their own info too.

So far:

Tarawera UItra, this coming weekend, 50% discount  www.taraweraultra.co.nz

Northburn Ultra, 50% discount  www.northburn100.co.nz

Glow Worm Tunnel Marathon, discount TBA, contact http://www.mountainsports.com.au/

Nice to see support from the other RD's!  This one looks interesting. Cant get much from the website though except June 3 and a brief description. Might put it in the diary!

Definitely a bit short on info on the web site. I'd looked at this, but I can't even find just where the eponymous tunnel is. Somewhere in NSW I presume.

The following website has it starting at Newnes Campground, Newnes, Australia. Just north of Lithgow.

I don't really see it as such. If I was looking for entrants I would do same to get it advertised to the entry list.

True. Something 6ft doesnt have a problem with at the moment (and hopefully never will)

The mountain goats will love this Marathon, held out at Newnes camp ground also called the Wolgan Valley.
Many years ago some bikies had a riot at the old pub some might remember that, shame the pub closed after that.
And the bridge also go washed away many years ago.
Lovely area for camping, rock climbing and canyoning.

Back to the race, I hope the RD does not mind me putting up the details I know about the race.
The first half is a lot eaiser than the second half but still superb going through the glow worms tunnel. (Bring a light.)
The second half going up the pipeline track and down to Glen Davis and back, one real big hill to say the least.


Could be really cold 2-3 June out at Newnes the hilsl keep the sun out of the camp ground for at least half the day.
I was told you will be able to hire tents which will be put up/down for a you at a reasonable price.
Sounds like a real fun weekend for the family as long as you don't mind camping and bringing everything you need with you no amenities at all out at the camp ground except one drop loo.
Most of the time camp fires are allowed but you will need to bring wood in, not much to get in the bush climbers have used most of it.
Maybe need a porta loo in the area that weekend if lots of people enter.

Great to see another addition to the list of NSW trail marathons and bravo for holding it during the colder part of the year. Sounds like a cracker.
