Saturday, March 13, 2010 - 6 Foot Track Marathon

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 finish line is outside Caves House.
 
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 over 850 entrants each year.

Come to Jenolan Caves to see the race finish, explore some breathtaking caves and treat yourself to a relaxing overnight stay - a fantastic weekend!
 
Due to the number of spectators at Jenolan Caves, you should expect some traffic disruptions.  Please allow extra time to travel to Jenolan and park your car.
