Anyone here done it?

[BlueHue]

Nope, but my sister ran it!

Hopefully catching up with her on the weekend, want me to get some lowdown on what the track is like?

Thats a lot of running, especially since its a lot of up and down with a lot crappy rough trail!

I used to know someone who used to run it. But he's dead now. :(

I've done 6 foot track from Katoomba to Jenolan.. it's a great hike...

I think you're supposed to do it in 2 days... but we comfortably did it in 3...

it's definitely worth it, and at the end you can always check out the caves etc.

I do remember that it was fairly undulating in sections. Unfortunately, I didn't keep a diary back then, so I can't tell you much about it, but I did have a ball.

Hi Karen97,

Not sure if you have done the track yet but I have done it last year...was my last decent hike for a while as I have just had a bub! I plan to take the little tacker up Kosi early next year.

It is a lovely walk with a few good steep sections which ever way you walk it. I walked Explorers tree to Jenolan which puts the hardest day in the middle. The views down Nellys Glen and of Narrow Neck are great. There is a really good website to have a look at if you want terrain profiles/pictures etc. It also has most of the walks in and around Sydney. Its www.wildwalks.com (http://www.wildwalks.com)

Enjoy!

Biked along the track from the Megalong Valley Rd crossing to the Jenolan Valley Rd crossing 2 weekends ago, was definitely great fun for the first half, but not too long after the cox river it just goes on a steep uphill with only a few downhill sections for pretty much the rest of it.

A mate of mine ran it in 3:15 at this years running event, which he won BTW & beat the course record by 9min in the process. If you want to see it just type - sleep train six foot track in to You Tube & click on the 1:15 video.

Rodent,

That's an astounding time.

What time of year is the race? I've thought about doing the race slowly as part of preparation to walk the Kokoda Track.
