This year our lap race is changing venue!

We had hoped to be ready to run this new lap race over the October long weekend, but the logistics of a new location meant this wasnt possible.  We are now excited to announce our new date of  17th December to run this bush run with a difference – a 5k course around the trails near St Columba’s.

Course information will be updated on this page shortly, but we are really excited to be running out lap race in this fantastic, new location!

The information below will be updated shortly with full information on the new course!

A 5km loop course around St Columba’s. The course has a mixture of single track, fire trail, descents and climbs. 3 hours or 6 hours. Solo runners, pairs relay and teams relay and up to four categories are available to suit all runners. Get a bunch of mates together and come up and make a day of it. Have a run and then sit back, enjoy the company, have a cold drink and watch others do the running.

the St Columba’s Course Description will follow shortly!  For now, see the description below of our Knapsack event

Starting out of the leafy surrounds of sleepy Knapsack Oval and taking in the sights of this largely unknown running reserve (well Mtb I suppose officially). The Knapsack Lap Race will provide single track, open fire trail, ridge lines, gully’s and tremendous views from the Marge’s and Elizabeth Lookouts. All in a tidy 5km circuit. The event offers opportunities for solo runners and relay teams. With time frames of 3hrs and 6hrs to choose from. Run as many or as few laps as you want, but most importantly don’t miss the most enjoyable lap event going round in running circles (literally). RESULTS can be found on Tempus Timing

“Trail Kids collaborate with Running Wild to put on a 3 race series of trail races for kids! Race 2 will be in conjunction with the Knapsack Lap Race. At Knapsack, after the grown ups 3h race, Trail Kids are offering a 1km un-timed race for under 10’s and a 3km timed race (consisting of 2 x 1.5km laps) for 5-14 year olds. Head to the Trail Kids website for all the details and registration”
