Illawarra Escarpment Traverse

The inaugural Illawarra Escarpment Traverse trail running event on 31 October 2026 includes a 19km and 6km distance along this beautiful NSW coastline. The full 19km distance is held on a point-to-point route starting from Stanwell Park Beach Reserve then traversing the National Park area of the Illawarra Escarpment, to finish at Hopetoun Park, Bulli Tops. It is a varied course including some beachside stretches, single track, stairs, technical elements, elevation and multiple picturesque lookouts. The 6km short course is on a looped course starting/finishing at Hopetoun Park. It also includes technical and picturesque trails but offers a more beginner-friendly elevation profile.
