42km of rocky high-country terrain with 2,200m of climbing — and mandatory gear
Northburn's trail marathon follows the same course as the 50km Skyrun until the final stretch, cutting home at Mirror Corner rather than completing the full loop. Still 42km and 2,200m of gain on the same steep 4WD tracks, rocky ridgelines, and exposed terrain shared with the longer events. Full mandatory gear is required. A serious mountain marathon that shares the start line with 50km, 100km, and 100-mile runners.
