  • Course Description – Marathon
    KTR Winter Trails Marathon Course Description: Starting at the Wamboin Community Hall, you will run 2.2 km to the very end of Bingley Way and then back before turning left onto a dirt road leading up into the Native Forest. • Bingley Way is not a busy road and will not be closed to traffic for the race so please ensure you obey all road rules while running this stretch, including moving off the bitumen if a car approaches. • Runners will be required to run on the right-hand side of the road – so that they can easily see any oncoming traffic. After 0.5 km the dirt road takes a hard left turn, you will instead continue ahead up a single track. • The transition from the dirt road to the single track is particularly technical with many large and small rocks on the road’s edge. You will need to exercise caution while leaving the road. You will now run 0.8 km of single track through pristine native forest before arriving at a horse trail entrance to Kowen Forest. You will find a manned water station at this spot. • The single track is moderately technical, the major issue being the effect of dappled light masking rocks and stones on the trail. • Caution is advised on the horse trail entry gate as the poles my still be frost-covered and slippery. • A volunteer at the manned water stations will be noting down bib numbers. From the water station you will follow the fence-line for 3.2 km - on forestry trail - until you arrive at the intersection with Seven Mile Rd.

John Vincent of Sutton Forrest. Mr Cartwright was first based at Arkstone Forest near Boorowa; by the end of 1838 Queanbeyan and Yass had become separate parishes, the Rev. Charles F.
