"This beautiful serpent shares our love of sunshine and water, and is a familiar sight to many outdoor adventurers in eastern Australia. Attitudes towards these largely inoffensive snakes are slowly changing, however they are still often seen as a dangerous menace and unjustly persecuted." Australian Museum.
Join the black snake and your fellow adventurers in the sunshine and water for a trot along the Clohesy River Road.
Choose between 5km, 12k, or 21k travelling along the Clohesy River road (dirt) on an out and back course.
All races enjoy a creek crossing (or 2!), and the 12k and 21k include a visit to the magnificent Clohesy River Fig Tree.
Registration opens at 6:00am; 21k starts at 6.30; 5k and 12k start at 7:00am
All races start and finish at the first creek past the junction of Clohesy River and Cedar Park Roads.
Parking: Please park along Clohesy river road, or Cedar park road, and walk the 200m down to the creek to the start/ finish. Parking spaces are limited due to the narrow road, which will not be closed, so carpool if you can!
Toilets: A portaloo will be available at the start/finish but instead of joining the queue you might like to stop at the nearby Koah roadhouse before you arrive.
Water: We will have water (for drinking!) at the start/ finish, and an on course water stop at the Clohesy River Fig tree (which will be at 6k and 14k mark).
If you have questions or need further information, please text Dave on 0459020091. Cairns Road Runners hope you will join us and enjoy the event.
