The Course

Download Google Earth OverlayThe WildEndurance course has been specially designed to demand both commitment and passion from every particiant. It sets a new standard for team trekking events.

Set in the heart of the stunning wilderness of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area, the WildEndurance course is wild and tough but also beautiful as it incorporates some of Australia's most iconic scenery. Due to a bridge being washed out, the course changed slightly in late February.

The course starts in magnificent Wentworth Falls and ends up in the historic village of Leura. The course passes beneath the Three Sisters and through the wonderful Jamison and Megalong valleys along Narrowneck and back to civilisation.

Download whole courseWhile the course is tough and incorporates 4,000 meters of ascent, with training, any reasonably healthy person can complete the event and with more than 90% of the course on unsealed roads and bush tracks you are guaranteed a memorable journey.
