Ready to push your trail adventures further? Join Connect Trails for our very first "Long Haul"—a more challenging but rewarding 15 km run through the deeper reaches of Lane Cove National Park.
### 🏃♀️ The Mission:
We’ll head from North Ryde into Stringybark Reserve, down through the lush Blue Gum Reserve, crossing Blue Gum Creek, and exploring semi-technical single-track trails along Lane Cove River. Expect sandstone stairs, winding tracks, creek crossings, and about 291 m elevation gain—a solid challenge and a perfect Sunday adventure.
Pace: We’ll keep a steady 5:30 min/km pace as a group—be ready for some good vibes and trail grit.
### ☕ Post-Run Hang:
We’ll finish at Perilla Café around 10:15 AM to refuel, recharge, and relive the trails together.
### 🎒 Bring:
- Trail running shoes ( some technical terrain)
- Minimum 500 ml water
- Energy gel or snack
- Opal card
