Border Bolt Running Festival

The Border Bolt Running Festival is held at 164 Duringan Street, Currumbin QLD, Australia. It is presented as Race 2 in the Trail Trips Triple Crown series and is identified as Triple Crown Round 2.

Course options are offered over multiple distances:

  • 6.6 km - all pavement
  • 13.5 km - some trail sections

The Long Course series pairs the Border Bolt 31 km with Trail Trips events of 25 km and a 50 km coastal event. Completing the three races in the Trail Trips Triple Crown awards a Trail Trips backpack valued at over A$100.
