The forecast is for fine weather sunday with temps in the mid 20s so we should have nice running conditions.

Note that there are water tanks at around 15k and 25k so a litre or so in your bladder or 2 hand bottles (maybe one for minimalists) will be fine.

The course map is here http://www.derm.qld....icia_colour.pdf

Start is at 7:30am at M4 on Delicia rd at Mapleton, allow at least 1.5 hrs from brisbane cbd. Give me a call on 0422372154 if your running late.

I may look at putting in an application for an official event here depending on feedback from the run on sunday.

see you there!

will the water need to be filtered/treated?

The water is from tanks which are fed from the roof of the toilets at each campsite. I have never treated the water and have had no ill effects..but if you want to be extra careful you could throw in a tab.

thanks for organising this run Trev. Posted Imageenjoyed every moment of the run. the trails seemed to change every km & great views. I struggled on the climb, not sure why maybe it being single track compared to my usual fire trail or too many k's in the legs??? i will be back for more at the next bootleg or race.

cheers
