Illawarra Escarpment Traverse
The Illawarra Escarpment Traverse is a trail running event held on Saturday, October 31, 2026 along the Illawarra coast and escarpment. The event offers two course choices and finishes at Hopetoun Park.
- 6 km, starts Hopetoun Park, Bulli Tops; rolling trails and coastal lookouts.
- 19 km, starts Stanwell Park Beach Reserve; climbs escarpment trails, forests, ridgelines.
The 6 km course features shorter rolling trails and coastal viewpoints with a shared finish at Hopetoun Park. The 19 km course follows escarpment tracks and ridgelines, passing through forested sections and offering ocean-facing views along the route.
Entries are limited and the event is capped because of the trail location. A newsletter is available to receive information about ticket release. The event includes event crew and volunteers and provides a finishers medal. The organiser describes the gathering as a community-focused experience with a finish-line celebration and on-course support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
