I have been hearing stories of the finish mountain, Mt Brother.  I have knocked up a very rough elevation map of the course using highly technical computer skills probably way above a normal persons comprehension to give you an idea of the terrain.

Read it and weep.  It's going to be challenging.  But that is what it is all about right?

The CUT!! Saturday 2nd June Nerang

It's new and it sounds awesome!!

Coops is in and keen to build a team! 

So the gist is, you will run anything between 9km and 75km based on your speed, endurance, and ticker 

The circuit is a 1.5km at Nerang, Hope Street. 

You get to run the circuit at least 6 times = 9km.......THEN

After that, you keep doing laps and each lap you are deemed SAFE or CUT. 

Generally, it will be the last 2 people cut each lap. 

There are rests and breaks built in, around 10km, 30km 45km etc. Toilet and food stops!

Sounds like a great event....so who is in?? 

JOIN OUR TEAM!!!

There will be a prize for the winning team/club/group. The more people in your group, the better chance you'll have - the winning team will be the team with the most amount of laps completed between the entire group.

The Cut Ultra Marathon will be a full-day party. Think Bands, Beers, and Cheering!

It's going to be a long day of running for some, a long day of cheering for others, and a long day of fun for everyone. Fun you say? Or did we say? Either way, we're talking food, music, picnics, drinks, dancing, maybe even a short arvo siesta? Whether you plan on only running 10km, or you reckon you’re hitting the ultra and beyond, block out the full day for this one - and block out the day for your family and friends too, ‘cause this event is as much about the party as it is the run!
