Course Description
The newest addition to Running Wild, the Burralow Bush Run, is a collaboration with Hawkesbury Trail Runners and is the only trail event in the Hawkesbury, located northwest of Sydney. Starting and finishing at Bilpin Fruit Bowl, the run showcases beautiful trails around Kurrajong Heights, Bilpin, and Bowen Mountain, offering two distances.
As a non-profit event, all funds raised go to the local Rural Fire Service, with $10 from each registration donated to Bilpin, Kurrajong Heights, and Grose Vale RFS. The Burralow Bush Run honours the original Hawkesbury trail event, the Willy to Billy and Bilpin Bush Run.
Are there cut-off times?
Yes, there is a 6-hour cut-off time for all runners to be finished. If you are not sure if you can make this cut off, contact us to help you decide.
Are headphones / walking poles allowed?
Due to the terrain we run on, we ask all runners not to use headphones at our events. This is so you can stay aware of what others around you are saying and hear if anyone needs your attention. Also, a big part of trail running is being social – so have a chat along the way!
Walking poles are allowed at our events, but we ask runners to be mindful of where they use them and not hinder other runners on any narrow or technical trails.
What mandatory gear do I need?
You must carry at least 500 ml of water. In accordance with our policy, we have a “No Water No Result” rule, i.e. if you fail to carry water, you will fail to receive a result. Our on-course marshals will also be looking for this, so be sure to carry your water. We do not provide cups at aid stations.
Do I need any safety gear?
Whilst not compulsory, we recommend runners wear gloves on the trails, such as bike gloves, as these will help protect your hands in case of a fall. Injuries to hands are the most common injuries our Event Safety Services team see. Please be mindful of the weather and dress appropriately.
