Welcome to the Six Foot Track Marathon Website.

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. It currently attracts approx 700 entrants each year.

The date of the next race is 8am, Saturday 14th March 2009.

Please make a note of our future race dates: Saturday 13th March 2010, Saturday 12th March 2011
