The Lamington Classic is Australia's oldest trail run, established in 1970, held in Lamington National Park, Queensland. The event features runs along the scenic Border Track through the World Heritage-listed rainforest, offering stunning views and a challenging course. Participants can choose a 21.3 km one-way crossing from O'Reilly's guest house to Binna Burra resort, or a 42.195 km marathon option starting near Binna Burra.
The race spans two days, with an overnight stay at Binna Burra for those doing the full crossing. The course is a Class 4 track with rough surfaces, creek crossings, and steep grades, requiring moderate fitness and navigation skills. Runners must carry their own hydration as water stations are only at start and finish points. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
