About the event

Beyond Blue Loop Challenge invites runners to push their limits on the weekend of March 4-6, 2027. Participants can choose between three race distances: a full 24-hour loop, a 15-hour marathon starting at midnight, or a more manageable 10-hour option beginning in the early morning light. Each hour, runners tackle a consistent 6.7km course through scenic park trails and open spaces.
The event is designed to be inclusive, with families encouraged to join the fun. The Kids' Dash on Sunday offers a short but spirited 2km run for younger participants, fostering an environment where everyone can celebrate fitness together.
Throughout the day, Fixx Nutrition ensures hydration stations are well-stocked, and runners can enjoy coffee from a dedicated van starting Saturday afternoon, complemented by pizza available from lunchtime onwards.
The race atmosphere is vibrant with giveaways awarded to those who complete their final loop before the event's conclusion at 6 PM Sunday. The park remains open for post-race celebrations, offering ample space for kids to play and families to relax after a day of endurance running.
With clear rules in place—runners must start each hour-long segment on the hour or risk elimination—the Beyond Blue Loop Challenge promises an engaging test of both physical stamina and mental fortitude.
