The CUT!! Saturday 2nd June Nerang

It's new and it sounds awesome!!

Coops is in and keen to build a team! 

So the gist is, you will run anything between 9km and 75km based on your speed, endurance, and ticker 

The circuit is a 1.5km at Nerang, Hope Street. 

You get to run the circuit at least 6 times = 9km.......THEN

After that, you keep doing laps and each lap you are deemed SAFE or CUT. 

Generally, it will be the last 2 people cut each lap. 

There are rests and breaks built in, around 10km, 30km 45km etc. Toilet and food stops!

Sounds like a great event....so who is in?? 

JOIN OUR TEAM!!!

There will be a prize for the winning team/club/group. The more people in your group, the better chance you'll have - the winning team will be the team with the most amount of laps completed between the entire group.

The Cut Ultra Marathon will be a full-day party. Think Bands, Beers, and Cheering!

It's going to be a long day of running for some, a long day of cheering for others, and a long day of fun for everyone. Fun you say? Or did we say? Either way, we're talking food, music, picnics, drinks, dancing, maybe even a short arvo siesta? Whether you plan on only running 10km, or you reckon you’re hitting the ultra and beyond, block out the full day for this one - and block out the day for your family and friends too, ‘cause this event is as much about the party as it is the run!
