About the race
Rumble in the Jungle is a multi-distance trail running event based at the Eastern Dorrigo Community Hall in Ulong, using trails and forest roads through Bindarri National Park and surrounding state forest. Courses combine forest roads, management trails and singletrack, passing waterfalls, lookouts and rainforest terrain. Distances cover a short family option up to two ultra distances.

- 8 km
- 21 km
- 30 km
- 50 km Ultra
- 100 km Ultra
Aid stations and water points are provided on all longer courses; many stations offer water, electrolyte drink, food items and toilet facilities. The event is cup free so runners must carry a reusable cup or soft flask. Finishers of all distances receive a bamboo medal; 100 km finishers also receive a commemorative finishers towel. Age minimums vary by distance and qualification is required for the 100 km Ultra. Mandatory gear lists are enforced at bib collection and include navigation, safety and cold-weather items; random gear checks and disqualification for missing mandatory items are possible. Camping is available at the event hub with limited spaces and basic facilities. Vehicle parking follows marshal directions and an optional bus runs between Coffs Harbour and Ulong for selected distances. The organisers request that participants stay on track and avoid disturbing wildlife to minimise environmental impact. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
