23ChampsView 23ChampsTableTop

The course was set by Lee Rice and Craig Cowan. Much of the area was burnt in the 2019-20 fires so is quite open in many places, as well as naturally having grassy open areas, such as around Kiandra. There is also a lot of interesting remains from the gold mining era at Kiandra across the course. We will provide some suggest ions for novice loops that use the well-defined features, and more challenging loops for thos e looking for a physical and navigational challenge.

~~The starts for the 8 hr and 24 hr events will be midday (12 pm) on Saturday 15 April. The 8 hr event will finish in the dark at 8pm and the 24 hr will fi nish at midday Sunday.~~

~~See the event gallery for more teaser pho tos, including photos of the lovely Three Mile Campground.~~
