 LIGHTHOUSE LEGENDS

TRAIL RUN - 30km

Mondday 9th June 2025 (Kings Birthday)


Registrations open 24th March 2025



Embark on the Lighthouse Legends Trail Run, an exhilarating coastal challenge tracing the rugged wilderness between Boyds Tower and Green Cape Lightstation in Beowa National Park, NSW. This isn’t just a run—it’s a test of endurance, strength, and the sheer will to conquer one of Australia’s most breathtaking coastal trails.


You’ll power through dense coastal forests, windswept heathlands, and pristine beaches, tackling rocky headlands and undulating terrain that will push your limits. Each step brings a new challenge, from technical rock scrambles to sandy stretches where the waves crash beside you. There might even be a few water crossings just to mix things up!


This isn’t just a race—it’s a journey through time, a battle against the elements, and a celebration of true trail running grit. Do you have what it takes to become a Lighthouse Legend?


In 2025 there will ONLY BE A RUN category. With all challengers departing Tathra Wharf as the sun rises at 0708. Challengers will self seed. Finish line cut off is 1230.


The course will be marked where required and there will be marshals at key locations along the course to direct and assist. There will be one checkpoint to resupply with water.  But mostly, you and your buddies will be on your own as you traverse the trail. A .GPX file of the course will be available for download


A bus transfer from Spencer Park in Merimbula where there is space to park your car, to Tathra Wharf to begin the challenge is available as part of the booking process. The bus will depart from Spencer Park in Merimbula at 0545 sharp. Registration will be at Tathra Wharf from 0615. Cost for this transfer is $30
