Narrowneck Night Run : Blue Mountains trail event
The Narrowneck Night Run is an out-and-back trail race that starts at Narrowneck Lookout and follows the Narrowneck Firetrail along the ridge above the Megalong Valley. The course is straightforward with few turns and is marked where a runner may go wrong. The route includes stairs at the start and finish that lead between the lookout carpark and the firetrail.
Distances offered:
- 14 km turn at the 6.88 km mark and return.
- 24.7 km turn at the firetrail end near the 12.2 km aid station and return.
Elevation gain is listed as +475 m for the 14 km course and +710 m for the 24.7 km course. There is an aid station at 12.2 km and the short course turnaround is at the 6.88 km aid location. Aid station supplies include water, electrolyte, fruit, lollies, chips and Coke. Runners must carry at least 500 ml of water and a headlamp; other required gear includes a breathable waterproof jacket, emergency space blanket, beanie or buff and a thermal long sleeved top. Organisers apply a No Water No Result rule.
Parking is in surrounding residential streets. Portaloos are provided at the start and finish and a toilet is available at the fire tower turn point.
