WHEN we consider all the different sports from around the world, there is perhaps no sport where the boundary of the playing area varies more than golf. Cricket and Aussie Rules fans rightly adore the hallowed turf of the MCG, but ultimately the 22 yard pitch and grass of the oval field are nearly identical to any other cricket field around the world, albeit with a few more grandstands.
As an ultra-runner who almost always seeks out the longest event on offer, I was surprised to have so much fun running the newest and shortest event, The Honeyeater Challenge (10km) at the Run the Great Whitsunday Trail running festival in 2018.
The Run the Great Whitsunday Trail is the only event in Australia where you can run through the beautiful but challenging rainforest to the beach, and cool off in the Coral Sea
The Whitsundays is an adventure just waiting to happen – all you have to bring is a sense of wonder and a willingness to jump right in!
The Whitsundays is quite literally in the heart of the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef and you can swim, snorkel, dive, sail and fly when experiencing the world’s largest living structure in the wonderful Whitsundays.
