Course Training
This event is held on public Mountain Bike (MTB) Trails.
Whilst they remain open for all to use, please note that these are MTB trails first and foremost and should be treated as such.
Any interruption to MTB use may result in the cancellation of this event.
Aid Stations
The North West Trail Running Series is a self-supported event, meaning there will be NO on-course assistance provided.
It is crucial to plan for your estimated course completion time and bring sufficient nutrition and hydration to sustain yourself throughout the event.
There will be FREE electrolytes provided at the Start/Finish line of the event thanks to our Electrolyte Partner, Trail Brew. Please refill your bottles as you please, or bring a cup to enjoy.
Recommended Gear
As the NWTRS is a self-supported event and given the nature of trail running and the fact that we are running in the middle of a Tasmanian winter, we require all participants to carry the following recommended gear as a minimum. The list is designed to make your running adventure as safe as possible – so please abide by the requirements.
Ultimately, you are responsible for your own safety, so please consider the course and weather conditions, and prepare yourself accordingly by wearing appropriate footwear and clothing.
