For those of you who like your trail running Feats to be BIG, we give to you the Classic Element Race Series. Four trail running events based on the 4 classic elements….Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Whether it’s running under never-ending sky (Air), battling over ancient rugged coastline (Water), Pushing yourself on under a relentless sun (Fire) or clawing over muddy hills and rainy valleys (Earth), BigFeat Events have developed a series of races that will Challenge you, Awaken you and Inspire you.
INSPIRED BY THE CLASSIC ELEMENT WATER, WE BRING TO YOU…BIGSEA!

18 Mile – 8am to 8.45am
50km – 8am to 8.45am

All runners will be required to carry 500ml of hydration with them. Most will have hydration vests but handheld soft flasks will be fine.
As weather is changeable, especially in winter, runners are advised to also wear (and carry) appropriate clothing for the conditions.
We also strongly advise to download the GPX of the route onto a wearable watch or mobile device. Although this is a marked course event, arrows have been known to be tampered with, so a good understanding of the route is advisable.
There will be a bag drop tent at the start line. All bags will then be transported to the finish location and will be ready for you to collect when you get there.
