Take on the Light to Light Trail Run, an unforgettable coastal challenge tracing the rugged wilderness between Boyds Tower and Green Cape Lightstation in Beowa National Park, NSW.

You’ll navigate dense coastal forests, windswept heathlands, and pristine beaches, tackling rocky headlands and rolling terrain that will push your limits. Each section of the course presents a fresh challenge, from technical rock scrambles to long stretches in the exposed heathland there are plenty of views to keep you going!


This legendary route follows the Light to Light walking trail, beginning at the iconic landmark, Boyds Tower and finishing under the towering beacon of Green Cape Lightstation.


This isn’t just a race—it’s a journey through time and nature, a battle against the elements, and a celebration of true trail running grit. Are you ready to take on the Light to Light Trail Run?


The course is marked with National Park signs, there will be marshals at Bittangabee Bay (23km into course) to direct and assist. This will be the location for the one checkpoint to resupply with water.  But mostly, you and your buddies will be on your own as you traverse the trail.
