Six Foot Track Marathon

Tackle one of Australia's most iconic and historic trail marathons at the Six Foot Track Marathon on March 14, 2026, a legendary 45km journey through the Blue Mountains from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves. Since 1984, this prestigious point-to-point race has challenged over 1,100 runners annually on a stunning, rugged course that follows the entire length of the historic Six Foot Track. As a not-for-profit event, all proceeds are donated to the Blue Mountains Rural Fire Service, whose volunteers staff the aid stations, adding a profound community purpose to the physical challenge.

Entry into this bucket-list race is highly sought after, managed through a lottery system, preferred qualifications, and deferrals from previous years. With its deep history, breathtaking scenery, and commitment to supporting local heroes, the Six Foot Track Marathon is more than a race—it's a pilgrimage for serious trail runners. Prepare for an unforgettable day where every step supports vital emergency services and celebrates a timeless Australian running tradition.
