Coastal Classic – 5 Sept 2020
Listed as one of Australia’s ‘must-do’ trail runs – the Coastal Classic is a 30km trail run through the Royal National Park (south of Sydney).
As the world’s second oldest national park (after Yellowstone in USA), the Coastal Classic is a trail run along the coast track from Otford to Bundeena. Offering 30km of trails, beaches, sand and rainforest – this race has a bit of everything, with amazing views to top it off!
The event takes place on Sat 5th September 2020 – with entries opening on Weds 8th April 2020 (9am). The event sells out shortly after opening, so be sure to be online when registration opens.
About our program
Our 14-week training program kicks off on 6 June 2020. It is aimed at supporting athletes who are looking to attempt a trail running challenge (30km).
Each week we focus on three targeted group training runs – strength, speed and endurance. In addition, the program also includes a strength & mobility session that focuses on functional conditioning to increase muscle strength, mobility, power and endurance.
Our Saturday endurance runs take place on various local trail courses – starting at 30mins and building to 180mins.
By far the most valuable part of our program is training with a group of like-minded runners, who are committed, motivated and will push you to scale greater heights.
Training starts on Sat 6 June 2020 and is open 12 x participants.
