BMF UTA Stair Training / Taper Run : Violet Street, Katoomba
This guided training run visits Ultra Trail Australia (UTA) trails around Katoomba with course options from 11–24 km. The route will include the UTA11 course as a minimum and may add other open UTA trails to reach longer distances. The exact route can change if National Parks or council closures, landslides, floods or other unforeseen circumstances occur.
Run leaders are NPWS ECO PASS licensed and insured to carry out training within the National Park. Trainers will offer guidance on race preparation topics such as gear, nutrition, pacing, aid stations and race strategy. Participants are asked to bring the UTA22 mandatory gear and sufficient fuel and hydration for the planned duration.
Pace groups are organised to keep participants together while accommodating different speeds. Planned groups include TURTLES, a mid paced group and SPEEDY HARES; a walker group may be added if required. Trainers aim to keep slower participants supported and manage group changes when groups meet.
Minimum age for this training run is 12. An information sheet with meeting points, course map and instructions will be sent to participants before the event.
Fees are A$65 for ages 16 and over and A$50 for ages 11–15. Cancellations more than 28 days before the event receive a 50% refund; no cancellations processed within 28 days. Transfers to other runners are considered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
