What Makes It Great

The Big Sipper is a 21km trail run through Mt Coot-tha that takes runners to Brisbane's oldest reservoir, Enoggera (1864). Starting from the reservoir via shuttle bus from the main event precinct, the course follows singletrack and fire roads with 711m of elevation gain before finishing at the main event village on Sir Samuel Griffith Drive. A great entry point into The Guzzler family of races.
