" This is one of my all time favourite trail runs in North Queensland. It has a bit of everything, a long steady climb, amazing views and lookouts, fast and flowy descents, beach sections and enough technical sections to keep your mind focused. "
Stage 5 - TRAIL RUN: Dunk island
Dunk Island lies just 4 km off the east coast, opposite Event HQ at Mission Beach. Dunk Island forms part of the Family Islands National Park and is in the larger Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The island is surrounded by reefs and has a diverse population of birds. The Bandjin and Djiru peoples once used the island as a source of food. Teams will complete a sensational 10km run across its spine and along its white sand beach, before jumping back into kayaks to paddle straight across to South Mission Beach Event HQ and into their next transition.
